Floyd 1500 tightening

[Dan Shipway]

Recently I got my Syn custom, despite the finish flaws I LOVE IT! Seriously worth the dough but my floyd arm is constantly loose and I don’t know how to tighten the 1500 series style push in arm socket, does anyone have any tips or solutions as I don’t want to mess it up?

Hi Dan, with the guitar should’ve come some Alan keys. Take the smallest Allen key there, and at the back of the tremolo arm “socket” on the bridge (the fine tuner side), is a small screw you can insert the Alan key into and this will tighten into the arm. This then holds the tremolo arm more firmly in place.
Let me know if this helps!
Also, please post some photos or a video of your new custom! I’d love to see it before I get one myself

Thanks Lewis, worked a treat and now I can finally flutter without the bar moving. Pictures will come soon.
