Are there any tutorials on installing a mustang tremolo? Also, what pieces would I need to have a complete tremolo? I'm looking at installing one on my CV duo.
Thanks for any help!!

hey there....
ok, the tail peice/trem ... well you have the plate, the tube piece, 2 posts and two springs and an arm..
but it's pretty much one unit....

as for routing, you'd need the two slots in the body for the posts/springs..

then you have the bridge which sits in two cups like a jaguar/jazzmaster.
it's not going to be an easy job like sticking a bigsby on a guitar.

Now my only concern is going to be routing it correctly...
