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!! :?: :D

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..

like this here

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.

Thanks for the links!! :)

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