EC, Not that style Tremsetter. THe ones Steve has are top mount in the Tremolo cavity, and have a hook that inserts in the spring hole on the block. Steve's guitar doesn't have the center spring, that is where one of the Tremsetters is mounted, and the other one is hooked into the same hole, but the back of the guitar body is routed with a groove, past the opening for the block, where he has the other one mounted. I  don't know how he has these adjusted, so I I didn't give it too much consideration for any of my guitars.

Then I REALLY want to see a picture or video of that!  :whoohoo!:

To mount them such that both setters share the same block hole is interesting, I suspect the hole would need to be enlarged to accommodate them. having recently installed one in my tele, it was hard enough to get the angle right for it to fit the hole (and it is tight!).

I use 3 main springs, 2 on bass side 1 on treble, and the tremsetter in the centre, works great with a FR and definitely improves bridge stability (but does increase trem action pressure required).

Richard,

Teflon is a good lubricant, it's relatively thin, but the problem with any kind of oil lubricant is that it attracts dust like a magnet! Even the Selmer Cork Grease that I'm using does that, hence the toothbrush and guitar polish scrubbing on a regular schedule. Another nut lubricant that works well is graphite. It's dry, but it's messy. On a maple neck it has a tendency to look like you've neglected the area around the nut when it comes to cleaning. It gets into every tiny little crack and shows up like dirt! YUK
