As with most other double locking tremolos, it is based on a design pioneered by Floyd Rose. It has two knife edges which rest against posts. The strings lock into
the
saddles,
which
can
be
adjusted for intonation. The tension of the strings is counter
-
balanced
by
a
set
of springs in the rear cavity which attach to a claw which allows the tension to be adjusted. Using this design
, the
bridge
itself floats. Since the bridge mounted in a cavity which
is
routed
out
of the top of the guitar, the design allows the player to pull up or push down on the vibrato bar to adjust the pitch up or down — with a non

floating
design the bar (and
pitch)
can
only
be
pushed
down
.
