Epiphone Swingster Tremolo Arm

Recommended Posts

Hey guys quick question about the tremolo arm on a Swingster. Does it have to come off when you put the guitar in the case? Was watching the video on it on the Epiphone site and they say to loosen the 2 allen head screws and remove the arm before you put it in the case. What a pain that would be every time????

 

Thanks

Steve

I leave mine on, but it is a short trip, and I am very careful with it. You can also shorten the arm a little by sliding it in a bit more than normal. I hate the allen screws. I don't understand why Epi or Bigsby doesn't replace them with thumbscrews, like the ones on violin tuners, etc.

I've been off line for a few days, so this thread is a bit dated..

 

I've had one for a few years now you do not have to remove the arm.

 

Position it so that it's between the volume and tone pots, the case will close.
