Function + Cool + Color = Sperzel

Sperzel trim lock tuners are second to none. They have been my personal favorite for many years. An absolute must for any guitar with a tremolo/vibrato system. Sperzel trim locks help maintain tuning stability by not allowing the string to loosen from around the post when using your wammy bar, by locking it in place for good. Other benefits include lightning fast string changes. All you do is insert the string in the post hole, pull it tight, tighten the thumb screw and turn the string about 1 turn to tune. And finally they are just the coolest looking of all tuners. Available in a multitude of colors both 6 inline for Fender type necks and 3 per side for Gibson type necks. They also work great on non wammy guitars and acoustic guitars as well. Lightweight and built to last for years. Enjoy German engineering for your guitar. The Mercedes Benz of tuning gears.

KLOTZ CABLE SMOKES THE OTHER BRANDS

Lets get right to the punchline here ! Most guitarists and bass players cringe at the thought of spending money on cables. We just don't think that way. We spend our time dreaming of that new guitar, amp, effect pedal, new pickups, or anything else but cables. Lets face it, there is NOTHING romantic about a cable especially one that costs. Glad I got that off my chest. Ok now we can get down to business. We spend a small fortune on all those for mentioned items and tend to neglect the one thing that can make or break your entire investment. You guessed it, your cables. There are lots of manufacturers out there that claim to have the best sounding cable but only a few can back that claim up. Klotz is one of them. Made in Germany you naturally expect top notch quality and this case is no different. Klotz is superior in both sound where it counts most and manufacturing. Try the AB test with a typical store bought cable and you will be blown away instantly. It is like taking a big sock off your amp. You walk away scratching your head saying why didn't I buy one of these years ago? For those of you who already know this valuable information please forgive my rant for you have made the connection and experienced real tone. Bottom line is this: Your guitar, pedals and amp are only as good as the cable that connects them together. Let Klotz be that cable.

END STRING BREAKAGE AND TUNING PROBLEMS WITH BIG BENDS NUT SAUCE

Some of the most useful things come in small packages. Such is the case for Big Bends nut sauce guitar lubricant. A must have performance optimization product for all guitars. Created by Inventor/Chemist/Guitarist Jeff Massey of the Big Bends company to address a multitude of issues that guitarists struggle with on a daily basis. So what issues are we talking about?

Tuning problems
String breakage
Excessive wear to parts
Friction

Picture a metal string rubbing across a metal bridge saddle. Not pretty! What you get is wear and tear to both the string and the saddle and the resulting friction will ultimately cause the weaker vessel to fail ala TWANG broken string. Apply some nut sauce and the problem goes away. Even worse is when you use your wammy bar and it just never goes back to where it started out, IN TUNE. Apply some nut sauce and the problem goes away. Eliminate the friction points on the strings and the strings slide through the saddles and nut with ease. This stuff is amazing. Typical application points are saddle string slots, nut slots, string tree's [retainers] roller bar on a Bigsby vibrato where the strings go underneath.

I was hanging out at the TV Jones exhibit at the Namm show playing and checking out Toms brand new Spectrasonic Supreme, which is a stunningly beautiful guitar. I suggested to TV that we take the guitar over to Jeff's booth for some nut sauce, as the Bigsby seemed to be doing what Bigsby's do well, go out of tune. Tom had not heard of nut sauce before but was open to the idea. Tom and I walked across hall E and after I introduced the two guitar pioneers Jeff went to work on the Spectrasonic Supreme. After about 5 minutes of nut sauce application to the bridge saddles, several points on the Bigsby vibrato and the nut, we were on our way back to the TV booth where we plugged in the guitar and experienced immediate gratification. I was able to vigorously use the Bigsby while the guitar stayed in tune. The strings went back to the same position repeatedly. Tom was happy and talking about making nut sauce a stock accessory included with the Spectrasonic Supreme and using it on his high profile rock star customer's guitars which he is responsible for repairs, setups and maintenance.

LOCK IT UP WITH TREMOL-NO

The Tremol-No™ is among the most useful products for guitarists to come along since the invention of the tremolo/vibrato itself. It allows the guitarist to change from a trem equipped guitar to a hardtail in seconds. It literally locks up your trem at will eliminating the need for a cumbersome and awkward wood block behind the tone block. With the turn of a thumb wheel you are back to wammy bar bliss...in 3 seconds

You ask why would you want to lock up the trem/bridge in the first place? Well with floating bridges the stability and position it remains in is subject to the the string tension versus the springs in your spring cavity. With a typical trem when you bend strings or break one the rest of them will move as well and subsequently go out of tune..In the nutshell if you are a wammy on every song kind of player the tremol-no is not for you. But if you are like most players that only use it on a handful of songs and want to enjoy the stability of a fixed bridge with a dedicated tailpiece or bridge tailpiece [hardtail] combo, then the tremol-no is the answer to your prayers. super simple to install and NO MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED. Installs in minutes with just a screwdriver. Available in 3 models. One of our best selling items.. Get it today http://www.trickedoutguitar.com/

TREM KING THE REVOLUTIONARY NEW GUITAR BRIDGE

Greetings from TOG and welcome to our latest installment on DIY do it yourself guitar modifications. Today we will Blog about the new Trem King bridge from none other than Trem King. Whatever you do be sure to view the Trem King You Tube video at the bottom of this lovely little BLOG..As our last blog for the Tonestyler represented probably the most important inovation for on-board guitar tone the Trem King is the equivalent as far as guitar bridges are concerned. This unit is just amazing and when properly installed and properly adjusted will deliver everything it promises. The Trem King come in 2 models the TK-1 for strat Style Guitars and the TK-2 for Tele Style Guitars. Both models come in chrome, gold and black. Read on and see what i am talking about !! Oh i almost forgot to mention that the Trem King comes stock with Graphtech String Saver Saddles so expect to string breakage to be almost non exsistant !!

The TREM KING Vibrato System was born out of the desire of a player to have a usable vibrato for guitar that stays in tune all the time. Whether you are dive-bombing, doing reverse bends, drop tuning or playing double stops, the TREM KING will do just that.

The Fixed Bridge Concept
The newly patented TREM KING is a vibrato system for guitars that uses the fixed bridge concept. The bridge plate is fixed to the body of the guitar. The saddles are fixed to the bridge and do not move. The intonation point and string height never change as with many other designs. All the action happens inside the guitar. And the best part is NOTHING happens until you touch the vibrato bar.

The Vibrato Action
The bar inserts directly into the tone block for the best leverage. The tone block pivots back and forth to provide the vibrato action. The TREM KING is able to act as a fixed bridge because the critical balance of string tension versus spring pressure combined with the patented Tension Bar. The tone block only moves when the vibrato bar is moved. When you use the vibrato bar, the tension bar brings the tone block back to the same Zero Point time after time. Two springs are normally all that are necessary to provide this balance. This allows for very light (2 lbs.) pressure to actuate the vibrato. The feel is precise and smooth.

Get A Grip
Along with the exclusive Grip Tip Vibrato Bar that has an adjustable rubber tip, the TREM KING is a joy to play. There is no locking nut necessary on the TREM KING. You can drop tune and not have to re-tune all the other strings. If you break a string while playing, your guitar will stay in tune and you can finish the song. The strings are easily and quickly replaced by loading through the bottom of the tone block with no cutting or special tools necessary.

About the ToneStyler-------The ToneStyler® is an advanced drop-in replacement for the standard tone pot in the electric guitar. Easily installed in minutes without any modifications to the instrument, the ToneStyler dramatically improves the tone and versatility of any guitar with passive pickups. Since the ToneStyler fits your guitar's original tone knob, your tone upgrade is invisible.
Your old tone pot, with its single rolloff point, is simply a volume control that reduces the loudness of everything... except bass tones. To make matters worse, that large value capacitor loads the pickup at all tone knob settings, reducing clarity and output level.
In sharp contrast, the revolutionary ToneStyler has not one, but an array of fourteen selectable capacitors and rolloff points. For the first time, players can adjust the frequency of the rolloff point... not simply the overall loudness of mids & highs. You choose exactly how much treble & midrange to retain, and where to cut it off. Plus, the small value capacitors greatly reduce pickup loading, boosting both your guitar's clarity and output level. Powerful and precise control of treble & mid frequencies is provided at last... and that weak, muddy sound is completely eliminated!
In addition to the fourteen discrete tone contours, the ToneStyler offers two types of bypass: "Old tone knob on 10", and true bypass.
