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.

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.
