linear tremolo

I have always had a dream. I thought the day would come when this would happen.

12 string with tremolo

but no ordinary tremolo

Don Ramsay - linear tremolo

let's see one in action

that looks like a synth pickup to boot!

the beauty of this design is that the base plate of the tremolo moves in a direction parallel with the body - no pivoting here!

can be installed on True Temperament guitars

there are plans to implement piezo systems in the design

the design can be incorporated in fanned fret systems

I love the dual tremolo arms

this design is fantastic

go have a look around at the linear tremolo site - plenty of fun!

now without going into details, Don Ramsay is going through a bit of a rough patch. this design and this designer needs to be preserved - and championed.

I would ask that the readers of new guitar design go to the linear tremolo site and send Don an email, with the following message in the heading - and nothing else.

"take care and get well soon Don, we are here for you,mate.EOM"

what a brilliant piece of design
