A tremolo arm is what allows one to use a tremolo. A tremolo is a mechanism in a stringed instrument that allows changing the pitch of all the strings simultaneously.
The major drawback of a tremolo is that large amounts of use will stretch the strings and throw the instrument out of tune, requiring the player to have to continually retune the instrument. The idea behind the Floyd Rose brand tremolo is to alleviate this problem by locking the strings at both the nut and the bridge.

you'd have to cut some wood out of the guitar like any other Floyd rose installation, to do so it costs about 300 or 400 dollars from what I've heard from others, but if you want something cheaper go with Kahler, they mount right on top of the guitars body and its still a whammy.

How do I string an electric guitar?
Depending on your guitar, generally from the head anchor, over the bridge and across the aligning nut to the winder. Some anchors lock at the bridge, some from the body and some have a special tremolo system (such as the Floyd Rose hardware) that need to be anchored from base of the fine tuning bolts or the back of the tremolo system. Tuning from top to bottom should be E, A ,D, G, B and upper E. Get them as close as possible to those notes and only use the fine tuning bolts on the Floyd Rose when you are very near the desired note.
