Off Topic: FR Tremolo Stop Tip of the Day

So I recently installed a tremolo stop on I had. Works as it should except the “click” you hear once it returns to the home position. I created a cheap fix for that. My secret is heat shrink tube. I can get various sizes for less than 5 bucks at a Chinese tool supplier. I use it for all sorts of guitar electronics but this seems to work best for the desired effect.

Cut a about 3/16 or less off of the tube. Apply it to the end of the thread so just a hair extends over the threads of the tremolo stop. Apply heat or use a cigarette lighter for a few seconds and Boom….problem solved. NO more “click” through your amp.
