Abstract
For an electric guitar equipped with a tremolo device, a stabilizer is provided to hold the horizontally extending portion of the actuating arm of the tremolo device in a fixed, but selectively adjustable, vertical position when the device is not being used by the player. The stabilizer is comprised of a retainer component adapted to be semi-permanently or permanently fixed to the top surface of the guitar body and a main component releasably connected with the retainer component to allow the main component to be removed from the retainer component to avoid interference between the stabilizer and a case when the guitar is placed into the case for storage or transport. The main component includes all of an adjustment device for selectively setting the vertical position at which the tremolo arm portion is held so that, barring any resetting of this adjustment device, the horizontally extending portion of the tremolo arm is held by the stabilizer in the same vertical position after reconnection of the main component with the retainer component as before the removal of the main component from the retainer component.
