'Snap-In' 2pc. Roller/Anvil Design
2-pc. Rollers
Our 2-pc. ‘Snap-in’ Rollers are designed to eliminate the worry of losing one’s Roller in case of the dreaded ‘string-break’.
How does this work…
The Intonation grooves on each of the Bridge Blocks are precisely machined to produce a ‘slight press’ for each of the Roller Anvils. Unlike the 1-pc. Rollers 0.9mm axle that sits loosely in the 1mm Intonation grooves, the 1mm diameter Anvils used with the 2-pc. Rollers are pressed into the Intonation groove. That is why we call them Anvils. Think of a car axle that spins for the 1-pc. Roller, and the Anvil used on the 2-pc. Rollers as something that is set and stationary.
This brings us to the Roller body. The through hole in the Roller is precision reamed for the closest possible ‘Ring Fit’, allowing the Roller to freely spin about the Anvil.
2-pc. Roller Installation
Because the ‘Anvil’ requires a slight press to seat it into the intonation groove, it is CRITICAL that one doesn’t use the Roller body to press them in. Instead, use a small screwdriver or butterknife, for example, to press straight down on each end of the anvil extending equally out each end of the body, keeping it inside the Bridge Block.
Tremolo Arm
Our Tremolo Assemblies have already been assembled. The Arm Post is set securely to the Rocker body. The Post is secured by the stainless-steel lock-washer below the Post collar and should NOT be loosened unless needed.
The order of the fasteners, both below and above the Arm’s brass swivel, is important…
From bottom to top, starting from above the Post collar:
-
Large diameter stainless flat washer (smooth side up)
-
Tremolo Arm
-
Small diameter stainless flat washer (smooth side down)
-
Brass flat washer (smooth side down)
-
Brass Locknut
-
Brass Acorn Nut
Arm Tension Adjustment
Install Arm components as defined above…
-
While rotating the Arm, gently tighten the brass nut until the Arm spins the way you prefer.
-
Now turn the Acorn nut down against the lock nut.
-
Using the thin-line wrench (provided), hold the lock nut stationery while using a standard 8mm wrench (not provided), to tighten the Acorn Nut against the lock nut. This may require alternately loosening and tightening between the two upper nuts, while rotating the Arm.
***NEW*** Our Exclusive ‘TruRadius’ Roller Bridge Assemblies
The Cyber Shop's
'TruRadius' Roller Bridge
Our newest innovation to the ‘Traditional’ Roller Bridge design. While keeping with the overall original design, our ‘Tru-Radius’ Roller Bridge Blocks are designed to maintain the TruRadius of the neck. All our Roller Bridge Assemblies will now have our ‘TruRadius' Bridge Blocks.
What is a TruRadius’ Bridge Block?
Proper Roller Bridge Installation ***Read Carefully***
-
As we all know, the bottom of the strings should follow the radius of the neck as closely as possible. The original design of the ‘stair-stepped’ Roller Blocks, got you close, but to get the string at that perfect radius, one had to shim individual Blocks to ‘fine-tune’ the String Radius.
-
But not anymore!!! Our Roller Bridge Blocks are each machined to and exact height, in conjunction with the string, as it sits at the bottom of each Roller’s 0.8mm groove for strings 1 thru 5, and as the String sits just on top of the Roller groove on the 6th String.
-
One now has a Roller Bridge that ALWAYS has a ‘TruRadius’ with the Neck. No more shimming individual Blocks. To set the action, all one must do is use the solid shims provided with each Assembly
-
Now you know what a ‘TruRadius’ Bridge is, it’s very simple, but extremely important!!! Each Block is numbered on the bottom Just be mindful to install the Blocks in the proper order on the guitar. Example: #1 Block – High-E, #6 Block – Low-E
