synchroniZR
The synchroniZR tremolo is a floating-type synchronized tremolo. The synchroniZR fea-
tures a high level of smoothness of a ball bearing pivot. The ZPX-FX spring system has
an arm-up and stopper function. This limits the action specifically to the arm-down and
eliminates the hassle of tuning, which is a shortcoming of a floating tremolo. The tremolo
arm is made of lightweight duralumin to reduce the shaking of the tremolo caused by the
overall weight of the tremolo arm.

Attaching the themolo arm
The tremolo arm can be easily inserted and removed. Be sure to insert the tremolo arm
into the arm socket (Fig.1 A) and push it down firmly until the arm snaps into place (Fig. 2).
The torque of the tremolo arm is adjusted with the torque adjustment cap (Fig. 3). Turning
the cap clockwise will tighten the arm torque, and turning the screw counterclockwise will
loosen the arm torque.

arm.
Adjusting the tremolo angle
The angle of the tremolo is adjusted by the balance between the tension of the strings
and the tension of the tremolo springs installed on the back side of the guitar body. To
maximize performance, set the tremolo so that it is approximately parallel to the surface
of the guitar body (Fig. 5). To adjust the angle of the tremolo, turn the spring adjustment
knob on the back side of the guitar (Fig. 4 B). If the tremolo is tilted forward while the
guitar is tuned correctly, turn the spring adjustment knob clockwise to tighten the spring.
If the tremolo is tilted backward, turn the spring adjustment knob counterclockwise to
loosen the spring.

When adjusting the tremolo angle in the floating state, the balance between the tension
of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs changes each time the tension of the
spring is adjusted. Thus, adjustments should affect tuning. Make adjustments by tuning
the strings repeatedly.
