So mine finally arrived last night. Initially I was going to put it into my Jackson soloist but the holes on the trem block were on the far side and it was impossible to get the pin to go in, so I decided to put it on my Charvel Socal
this guitar has a top mounted Floyd so there is not a lot of pull up to begin with but I really "warble" a lot when I improvise so a little upward travel while being able to drop D on the fly was my main objective.
so far so good, when I drop D it is almost perfect, my G and B strings are still going just a tiny bit sharp when I drop but it's so close I can fine tune quickly. I need to do a restring so I will revisit this then and see if I can get it perfect.
I got the shortest one they make "S' and I still had to take off a spring and really crank in the claw to get it to fit.
The makers of this thing really should take a look at some more Jackson /Charvel trem cavities.
Ideally you should not have to remove a spring and crank the claw in so far just to get this thing to fit.
so does it work? well so far I would have to say yes
My trem is not too noticeably stiffer, I am staying in tune and I can still pull up to "vibrate" any notes or harmonics. I have a D-Tuna on my charvel and as I mentioned it's almost perfect when dropping.
Mine does not stick out I actually put the back plate back on mine.
So thumbs up for performance , Thomann delivered it to me here in Boston on Wednesday, I ordered it on Friday night :) not bad at all
thumbs down for cost
$99 for the unit and $30 to ship from Germany, but so far out of everything else I've tried this is working out the best.
Anyone that needs the ability to drop D but still wants a floating trem but does not want to install a Tremol-no (which I couldn't get to work properly) should give one of these a look

Always great to see something new as far as stabilizing a Floyd. Going to have to take a closer look at these!
edit - looks like a decent unit. Basically an ESP arming adjuster without having to fasten it to the body. Nice!

Thx for sharing!

the Trem Switch looked even more promising but their kick start program failed :(
here's a video I saw on it looked really easy to use as well

this one looks intersting as well

Interesting variations on the tremolo no.
I'm always up for trying new ideas of that. However my charvel guthries' tremolo no is perfect...I can get flutters,drop d or complete fixed bridge.Of course charvel did the setup on it,so it's dead on...I tried a few of the designs ( like the 1rst and 3rd videos) that have a stop that touches the trem block when locked,but I always got a loud " smack" sound when it touches the block when working the trem.ymmv

they definitely need rubber or felt on the block and the end of the unit, I had a floyd rose Trem-endous on this guitar befor and it didn't work for Drop D but it came with felt pads and it certainly helped. The Tremmory also came with them and I have one on the trem block and on the claw where it touches. pretty quiet.
