Is it possible to install a bridge with a tremolo on the TE-200? If so, which one would fit?

Carl N.

Hey Leif, simple answer is yes but there would be a lot of work needing to be done to install any tremolo on this instrument.  Best to take this to a professional to have it done for you.

Does the TE-200 have a forearm contour? Hard to tell by the pictures.

Carl N.

Hey T, yes this will have a slight arm contour.

In which countries is this model manufactured?

Hello again Bucky, this model too is produced in China and Vietnam.

I need help I would like to replace the stock tuners for locking tuners on my TE-200 but I need to know what size I need and if they have to be staggered? 

Thanks

Hi Israel, They are not staggered but staggered would work for that type of headstock (Staggered are made to fit this style of "scooped" head design). The hole size is standard now for all our tuners @10.5mm. The only other thing you should notice is that some tuners have different mounting holes. I would tell you not to worry about the mounting holes so much. You can fill those with a dowel if needed but it doesn't affect the guitar's structure or performance. Just buy the keys you want to use and install them.

Hi. I have the TE-200 in sunburst tobacco. When I first got it, the action was quite low which made it easy to play but had fret buzz on the low E A & D strings. So I adjusted the low E and A & D saddles slightly higher than the G B E saddles and set the intonation to best of my ability but left out adjusting the truss rod.  I like the low action when I got it and want to go back setting the saddles lower but want to eliminate the fret buzz. Im guessing to achieve that I suppose I need to adjust the truss rod to provide more relief. How do you recommend I go about adjusting the saddles, intonation and truss rod? Is a little bit of fret buzz ok or should there be none what so ever?

Also I recently noticed the Nut at the head of the guitar slopes downwards. So the Nut height begins high from low E then slopes down A D G B and finally E where the nut is then at its lowest height Like a right angled triangle. Would you be able to confirm this is how the nut is designed to be? It seems quite unique and haven't noticed this on other guitars before and the nut is just flat.

 

Thanks.

Hi Aaron, you may want to take your guitar to a professional tech who can setup your instrument. What you mentioned doesn't sound out of line. It's common for neck to need adjustments from time to time. Some amount of buzz acoustically is totally fine, but there should be less buzz coming through the amp. The string slots in the nut are higher at the bass side to account for the larger vibration pattern on a larger wound string tuned to a lower pitch. It is normal to have slightly higher action on the bass side than the treble side, but every player can modify his existing setup to suit his or her particular needs when it comes to playing style.
