Duesenberg TremStopper

The Duesenberg TremStopper absorbs the loss of string tension should a string break or be retuned to open tuning without restricting the functionality of the tremolo.

How does it work? If a string breaks, the balance between spring pressure and string tension is no longer correct, the lever will rise and so will the overall tuning of the guitar. It is just this movement that the TremStopper compensates for, so that the guitar remains „in tune“. Nevertheless, the lever can be moved beyond the stop position and the tremolo can be operated as usual. If the stopper is not needed, simply turn it 90 degrees to the side.

There are two versions of the TremStopper. The longer one (36202) fits the Duesenberg Diamond Deluxe Tremola, the shorter one (36201) fits the Duesenberg Radiator and the göldo G5/G7 tremolos. The only difference is the length of the tailpiece block (57.5 or 53 mm) and therefore the distance between the holes which the strings are fed through. As the tailpiece block of the TremStopper protrudes a little further down, the tremolo must be „jacked up“ with the help of washers. Otherwise the tailpiece could damage the lacquer surface.

On Duesenberg guitars, the tremolo is jacked up as standard. For other instruments, you will need the washer set 36203.
