Hi,

I have a Drop Top (02-19-03N) with a vintage trem that swings freely.
How can I stop the trem from falling each time I use it?

Thanks

Jim

I found the tension screw on the side of the trem.
All cool.

Your drop top is one day older than mine! We must have the same type trem. Tom had to tell me where the set screw was to tighten up the trem arm.

Let's have a look at your drop top then...

Here are my two TAG's.

Nice- how do you find switcheroo?

Love the switcheroo. To me it seems more natural than a knife switch setup. The ability to switch between HB and whatever (the blower switch I think it's called) has now become something I could not be without.

OMG The Crowdster looks HUGE next to that drop top.

I must take a pic with the Crowdster and the Cobra side by side some time...

I noticed that too. I think most of that is an illusion because the HDT was about 6 inches behind the C+2. The C+2 is about an inch longer than the HDT even though it has a shorter neck.
