BubbaVO Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Brand spanking new. Its the short block; vintage. Screws/ springs/ trem arm / installation instructions. Everything you need to install. Comes in the original box. You really have to know what your doing to install it correctly. An incorrect install will ruin your trem. But if you know what you're doing, you know this is one of the best trems out there. $150. You pay the shipping. I'll cover paypal. PM if you're interested.
BubbaVO Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 What's the deal on the tricky install?Good question.Need to drill the holes for the screws precisely. If you're thinking of putting it existing holes, make sure you measure three times to make sure it fits. Otherwise you might be better off drilling holes, gluing in dowels and drilling new holes. Let me be clear: don't fuck around...if you aren't skilled at this, please do us both a favor and don't buy it. When installed correctly, this is an amazing trem. Its essentially the same design as found on the earlier PRS guitars. There's been discussion about this trem on the past and you can read folks' very positive opinions.
atquinn Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 It's only slightly trickier than any 6-screw trem setup. The Mann trems are like PRS trems with knife edges in the screws so if you don't have all the screws parallel to each other and at the same height, you'll have problems. I've installed them before a couple time and had no issues. This is the retrofit for US Fender 6-screws trems (and also the Wilky's Hamer uses!!), btw, not the PRS-spaced one.-Austin

It is retrofit for the Wilky. And the screws need to be perfectly perpendicular to the body and parallel to one another. Thanks for clarifying, amigo.
