Product Usage Instructions

Choosing a Tremolo Baseplate

  • To choose the appropriate tremolo baseplate for your guitar, consider the post spacing required.
  • If your guitar has a Floyd Rose tremolo system, choose the 2:92 baseplate with a 2.92 tremolo post spacing.
  • If your guitar follows Fender tremolo specs, select the 2:22 baseplate with a 2.22 tremolo post spacing.

Choosing a Hardtail Baseplate

  • If you have a Tune-O-Matic setup on your guitar, the 3:44 baseplate is a drop-in fit for your needs.
  • For Fender-type construction where the strings run parallel to the body, the 4:44 baseplate with a lower profile design is suitable.

Choosing the Saddles

  • There are two saddle options available: Standard and Deluxe.
  • Both saddles can be either top-loaded or strung through the tremolo block.
  • Choose the one that suits your preferences.

Choosing the Macro-Tuners

  • The Macro-Tuners come in two variants: 2:92 Macro-Tuners and 2:22 Macro-Tuners.
  • The 2:92 Macro-Tuners have a longer length and higher intonation point, making them recommended for use with the 3:44 baseplate TOM setup.
  • They have a length of 2.575 and an intonation height of 0.315. On the other hand, the 2:22 Macro-Tuners have a shorter length and lower saddle height, with a length of 2.35 and an intonation height of 0.215.

Choosing Your Tremolo Block

There are two options for tremolo blocks: The Sophia StopBlock and the Sophia Global Tuner Pro. The Sophia StopBlock is a CNC bell brass mid-sized tremolo block that comes in various heights (42, 37, 34, and 32mm). You can choose between the standard Tremstop, which is an adjustable hard stop (not spring- loaded), or the Sophia UNO, which is a spring-loaded adjustable stabilizer. The Sophia Global Tuner Pro features a global tuning wheel that allows for spring adjustment on the fly without the need to adjust tremolo claw screws. It also has dual spring-loaded stabilizers and comes in various heights (42, 37, 34, and 32mm).
