Lock nut design ensures accurate tuning
①Easy Mount System
Tokai E.T.'s lock nut is an easy mount system that can be easily installed by anyone, using the existing nuts as they are. Just by fixing it to the headstock with three screws, you can lock the strings while maintaining the appropriate tension. (Patent utility model application pending)
②String tension bar body system
The string tension bar is an integrated lock nut system that provides constant tension to the strings. Since the tension bar is set in the lock base to keep the 6th string at a constant tension, there is no chance of any excess tension being applied and the tuning (pitch) going out of order when securing the strings with the lock nut. We promise accurate fine tuning.
Tokai E.T., which responded to the aspirations of guitarists around the world with innovative ideas (main unit)
① An innovative system that can be used without cutting the strings
Can be used in exactly the same way as a conventional tremolo unit. String height adjustment and octave pitch adjustment can be made for each of the 6 strings by passing the strings through the tremolo block. Moreover, it is a revolutionary system that can be used without cutting the strings. The tremolo unit is also installed using the traditional method of fixing it with two stud screws on the thread pitch. There is no need to modify the lock nut section at all. (There is no need to modify the pickguard for the ST model either.)
②Original special patent mechanical string lock method
Tremolo unit uses Tokai's original special patent mechanical method to secure the strings. (Patent utility model pending) The strings can be easily locked by simply tightening the lock screw installed at the rear of the tremolo. It is OK to simply tighten it by hand, but it is even better to lock it with the included wrench for heavy metal kids' intense arming play.
③ Original 2-point support edge & tremolo arm
The original 2-point support edge and 6 original tremolo arms that can be used with any arming produce an emotional vibrato sound. (Patent utility model pending) Made of special steel, so there is no need to worry about the arm breaking. (Even if it breaks, you can replace only the arm without changing the tremolo block, giving you the long-awaited freedom to remove the arm.
④Original view
Tokai's unique design full of functional beauty. (Design registration pending) This is an original tremolo unit that is the best match for the conventional ST series
