The tremolo arm is installed by carefully threading it into the hole adjacent to the first string. Do not over tighten, as you may snap the arm off in the block. Once the tremolo arm has been installed, it should not be removed, because there is a spring in the receptacle hole that could fall out and be lost. To store the instrument in its case, simply swing the tremolo arm towards the corner of the case where the output jack is located. Jaguar/Jazzmaster The Jaguar and Jazzmaster model guitars employ a tremolo unit which is much different from the vintage tremolo. They contain several special features which are unique to these guitars. One special feature is the "Trem-Lock" button, which locks the tremolo action when it is pushed toward the tremolo spring tension screw. This allows much quicker tuning of the instrument, because during the tuning process the varying tension of any string cannot affect the pitch of all the other strings. After tuning, unlock the tremolo by pushing the Trem-Lock button away from the tremolo spring tension screw. If a string breaks during a performance, the remaining strings will be out of tune. However the tremolo may be locked, if the tremolo arm is first depressed, thereby returning the remaining strings to pitch. 9

Jaguar/Jazzmaster
The
Jaguar
and
Jazzmaster
model
guitars
employ
a
tremolo
unit
which
is
much
different
from
the
vintage
tremolo.
They
contain
several
special
features
which
are
unique
to
these
guitars.
One
special
feature
is
the
"Trem-Lock"
button,
which
locks
the
tremolo
action
when
it
is
pushed
toward
the
tremolo
spring
tension
screw.
This
allows
much
quicker
tuning
of
the
instrument,
because
during
the
tuning
process
the
varying
tension
of
any
string
cannot
affect
the
pitch
of
all
the
other
strings.
After
tuning,
unlock
the
tremolo
by
pushing
the
Trem-Lock
button
away
from
the
tremolo
spring
tension
screw.
If
a
string
breaks
during
a
perform-
ance,
the
remaining
strings
will
be
out
of
tune.
However
the
tremolo
may
be
locked,
if
the
tremolo
arm
is
first
depressed,
thereby
returning
the
remain-
ing
strings
to
pitch.
