The Sure Claw has been designed for guitarists who use a Floyd Rose or similar tremolo system with a sustain block. This is the only way to achieve precise spring tension adjustment with one mechanism. Not only will you be able to adjust the spring tension and bridge angle without removing the spring cover, you will add sustain and stability to your locking and standard tremolo systems.
Schaller's German made precision counter rotating worm gears move the entire claw assembly as a single hex screw is turned. Easy to install and includes all hardware and marking pin to drill an access hole in the spring cover plate.
You might be facing these challenges with your tremolo:
Using an extra long drill, drilling diagonally into the guitar body;
Using a very long, special cross-recess screwdriver (and a lot of muscle) to unevenly screw in the two fixing screws;
Running the risk of slipping with the screwdriver and damaging the guitar;
Repeated, tedious removal and re-attachment of the spring compartment cover, just for the sake of readjusting the tension springs.
All this can be avoided!
The patented Schaller spring tensioner (Sure Claw) is the solution:
The Schaller spring tensioner is mounted horizontally and is easy to install (requires only two screws);
Its worm gearing means that adjustment is very simple;
Simultaneous, parallel adjustment of the spring claw;
Closed tremolo spring cover allows problem-free readjustment using an Allen key;
The Schaller Sure Claw has three cavities for the tremolo springs, which means you can use up to three springs when you need to.
Hex wrench and center punch for punch-marking the cover plate are included.
Installation
Screw the Schaller Sure Claw into the guitar body in place of the spring claw, then re-attach the springs. You can then adjust the spring tension as you want it through a small hole in the cover plate (please drill this yourself) without having to take the cover off every time.
A spike for center-punching the cover is included as an accessory.
Simply place this spike in the Allen socket on the adjustment unit, then put the cover into place so that it is marked by the spike. This shows you exactly where the cover needs to be drilled, which means you can then make adjustments without having to remove the cover, simply by inserting the Allen wrench through the hole.
For grounding run a ground cable from the bridge to the Sure Claw. Strip the isolation and fan out the braiding. Now place the braiding between the wood and the Sure Claw base plate and tighten the two Sure Claw fixing screws firmly. This will ensure a permanent and reliable ground connection.
