The whole point is to create a "soft stop" that is super stable for chords, etc so you don't need a hard stop ... it works. works well:)

For most guitars with shallow or no recess the pulls are stable and can go up a P5, etc.

You do know our Global Tuner Pro is OFR compatible and will do exactly that -- just as we do for the Sophia DropTuner upgrade...

haha -- we get it -- check out the GT Pro, its dia-able for light to full-on HD pre-tension -- we got this:)

Its pretty easy to learn how to get a .055-ish string through the knob, up and over the Intonation Point, etc. -- you can also load 3/8" of a string through the nose slot and lock -- the nose slot is .078 wide, so we suggest up to .075 diameter wound string as the general limit but handle a larger diameter string, if using a smaller diameter plain core though the nose slot, etc.

sorry being born a leftie I do think of it -- our supplier f*cked up the left handed base plates ... we are little too small to keep up with that like we would otherwise prefer... we do have left handed arm upgrades for OFR as well as Stop Blocks, UNO Single Stabilizer, GT Pro, locking Riser Post sets, and spring claw upgrades for any left handed vintage locking trem to hold you over...

Bwa hahaha -- the adjustment is essentially the same a vintage locking tremolo -- we will try to make better vids ... love back!

The prime update was to re-position the M4 holes, for securing the nut to the neck, to vintage-correct "asymetrical" locations -- the remainder of the line have symmetrical locations.

We offer shims placed between the addle and the base plate, like intake locking tremolos, to alter the pre-fixed R14 radius we use on our tremolos.... shims under teh middle saddles increases the roundness and lowers the number, to say R 12 or R10 ..

@@merkaba22 Sorry, I missed your reply in our email chain: "The Sophia 2:92 is performance oriented and has an R14 specification that works well with R12 to R16 and compound radii out of the box - you can order a set of shims, placed between the macro-tuners and the base plate, to alter the radius if you prefer." So, basically, you are saying that the shims aren't absolutely necessary because the 14" radius Sophia will still work well with 12-16" radii, right out of the box and adding shims or not depends on personal preference. I mounted the tremolo last night with a .2mm shim under the G string saddle. Seems fine, but I have yet to adjust the intonation. If I'd read your email reply more carefully, I wouldn't have had to ask that question.

Thank you -- we actually do "Love this stuff ..."

We had an issue with our supplier for left handed base plates and are working on it -- in the meantime, a left-handed arm upgrade, StopBlocks and GT Pros, locking risers, copper coated springs and claw are all compatible with vintage OFR specs... can be very nice:)

This would be great information I just ordered a custom build with a 2.92 but its still months out so if they don't do a video by then maybe I will

@@jamesmandarino6641 I think it’s a little ridiculous. They’ve put quite a few videos together and some thing as basic as intonation adjustment. They have totally left out. Makes me believe it is a real pain in the ass. Because the rest looks too good to be true.

@@shannonfishkill8957 Could also just be the difference between a craftsman versus a social media expert not thinking about it. The luthier building my guitar says it's pretty easy I know one thing, it can't be much worse than a Floyd Rose is. Feel free to reach out in the future and I can let you know. I'm assuming it'll be at least 6 months till the guitar is done but I'll be happy to answer any questions.

@@jamesmandarino6641 I know the Floyd Rose sucks.. I want one of these so bad just to eliminate it. I wish they would make one that wasn’t a Tremelo that was just a hard tail conversion. It’s a shame but I’ve got an Ibanez RG 770 from 1989 that I love but I absolutely despise the trim wall, especially when trying to tune down drop D it’s just unplayable and it’s such a good guitar.

Insert the supplied 2mm hex wrench into the round port next to the string slot and loosen the saddles screw and re-position to suit -- its a left handed screw, so you experience it right handed when loosening or tightening -- there is also a "safety" hex port on the head of saddle screw secured against the bottom of the base you can access when the tremolo is removed...

The Sophia 2:92 w/ macro-tuners fit most OFR tremolos with recessed cavities -- typically the recess should extend be a little less than 3" from the centerline of the risers -- we just got some custom stainless steel knobs that also introduce a shorty and a short spine version that are about .065 [incorreclty stated as .200"earlier] shorter -- the typical dimension of the end of the intonated six string macro-tuner is anywhere from 2.75 to 2.92"depending on the guitar, etc. -- the shorter knobs then reduce this length to 2.685 to 2.855 - write us at sales@cslsophia.con or visit our website sophiatremolos.com

@@merkaba22 That is awesome news about the shorter knobs. I measured the cavity and it extends 2-13/16" from the centerline of the risers. Thank you for updating me on that info.

So the 2:92 Deluxe seems to not even have fine tuners on it- is that the difference between that and the more expensive model? If so, I may be able to do with that, since my guitar already has locking tuners at the headstock, although when I custom ordered the guitar from Kiesel, they recommended I get the locking FR nut anyway, which I did. I'm afraid that if I leave the FR locking nut in place, without locking it, the string grooves might not be suited for tremolo use.

@@gbferrell Yes, the Deluxe locking saddles do not have our full-range tuners -- if you lock the strings at the nut, you cannot further tune the guitar -- the issue with the first floyd, etc. -- We suggest you get tuners for this arrangement is best since otherwise we are not sure if anyone sells a non-locking nut for the vintage locking nut shelf specifications...

​@@merkaba22 Ok, thank you. I like the idea of the 60:1 fine tuning knobs anyway.

Thank you ❤

We agree!

If you have the two-riser post floating version, rather than the 6-screw 50's style tremolo, yes -- drop-in fit:)

Yes, you can order the Global Tuner Pro in either 34 or 32mm size with required M4 x 3 @ .636 spacing --- sophiatremolos.com/collections/global-tuner-upgrades/products/global-tuner-pro

Hey -- great question -- the short answer is Yes -- the DropTuner lever moves the inner tuner pin a preset amount, the knob still turns freely in either position ... actually necessary for Initial Setup:)

They are no-noise physically -- they do not require capacitance deading rubber or similar -- we have been doing this for over 8 years and so far there is a concensus .. but you could be right ....

The Sophia 2:22 is a drop-in fit for the 1984 Fender Start tremolo with two riser posts -- your Strat prolly has the earlier 6-screw version -- we have no upgrade for the 6-screw version in production at this time... thank you for your interest.

Loosen the associated string or tilt the tremolo forward to remove tension from the associated saddle, insert the supplied 2mm wrench into the round port next to the string slot to loosen the saddle screw, re-position as needed and the re-tighten the saddle screw:)

On our website, Sophia Tremolos each model, color and upgrade is shown with prices ... if there is a question outside of these variables we are interested in hearing from you .. for example the 2:92 is $390 right now, if its black, its + $20, etc.

Thank you so much -- we dig hearing great feedback! -- "we love this stuff ..."

We are woking on that ... we just released the Sophia Nut -- the Seven is coming soon!

Thats What I Was wondering too

If your Strat has two riser posts and floats rather than the 50's six screw mounting pattern, the Sophia 2:22 @ 42mm StopBlock length will fit

@@merkaba22 my strat is a made in mexico with a 6 screw mounting system, its also meant for 50mm humbuckers. Thanks for the quick reply!

Thank you so much for the kind words and reception -- "we love this stuff ..." -- if you have any questions write to us at sales@cslsoopahia.com

In most cases, its a drop-in fit - spring block size is important: 42, 37, 34 or 32mm ... most recessed installs are 37 or shorter, depending on the thickness of the body in question, etc,:)...

@@merkaba22 thank you for the response, planning on ordering one🙌🏼🔥

@@BOATIE141 Very cool -- if you have further questions write us at: sales@cslsosphia.com

The Sophia have a built-in R14 for the string to saddle to base plate and use sims to alter the radius for best results...

Thank you -- we get it -- tho' in the past 8 years of operation we have had no bad knife edges reported to us -- we think the GT Pro helps avoid that result.. We also have introduced premium USA made 2:92 base plates in black and custom colors since mid-2023:)

he Sophia 2:92 Tremolo is a drop-in fit for the OFR tremolo you mention.. The spacing extending between the center lines of the riser posts is 2.92”, hence the 2:92 … Fender is 2.22”, hence the Sophia 2:22. ruclips.net/video/79BOARAmhsQ/видео.html
