that depends on wat u mean. there is an effect pedal called tremolo, a type of bend called tremolo, and a part that goes on your guitar. You probably mean what is usually called the 'tremolo' floating bridge on a guitar. This is actually a misnomer since tremolo means 'rapid change in tone or volume/amplitude'. What a floating bridge actually does is allows the player to change the pitch of a note or set of notes in much the same way you would with a bend. Changing pitch rapidly in this manner is actually called vibrato, not tremolo. The tremolo effects pedal actually varies the amplitude so as to give the impression that the note is not decaying as fast. Interestingly enough, there are a number of vintage 'vibrato' amplifiers that actually employ a tremolo device. This is why engineers should ask musicians to name their musical inventions lol.

yes A tremolo arm, tremolo bar, whammy bar or wang bar is a lever attached to the bridge and/or the tailpiece of an electric guitar or archtop guitar to enable the player to quickly vary the tension and sometimes the length of the strings temporarily, changing the pitch to create a vibrato, portamento or pitch bend effect. Instruments without this device are called hard-tail. The term vibrola is also used by some guitar makers to describe their particular tremolo arm designs.
That would depend on the guitar hardware setup. For some guitars, the head of the string is locked in the body, the string brought over the bridge and wound through the aligning winder over the nut. Others require threading through a tremolo mechanism such as the Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most guitars have the string head thread from the bridge, along the neck, over the aligning nut and through the winder hub.
A guitar tremolo works but altering the tension of the strings along the guitar. A tremolo on a guitar consists of a handle and when pressed or pulled it moves the strings with it. When you push a tremolo arm down it alters the pitch of the struck note to a lower sound by making the string slacker. When pulled it makes the strings tighter and therefore makes the struck note higher. A common example of a tremolo is a Bigsby unit.

To set up a Floyd Rose tremolo system on a guitar, first loosen the strings and remove the existing bridge. Install the Floyd Rose bridge, ensuring it is level with the guitar body. Reattach the strings and tune them to pitch. Adjust the spring tension in the back cavity to balance the bridge. Fine-tune the bridge using the fine tuners on the bridge itself.

To properly set up a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system, you need to adjust the bridge height, string tension, and spring tension to ensure the guitar stays in tune and the tremolo functions smoothly. This involves balancing the tension between the strings and the tremolo springs, as well as adjusting the bridge angle and intonation. It's important to make small adjustments and test the tuning frequently to achieve the desired setup.
To properly install and set up a flush mount Floyd Rose tremolo system on a guitar, you need to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. This typically involves routing a cavity in the guitar body for the tremolo, installing the tremolo unit, adjusting the spring tension, setting the bridge height and intonation, and tuning the guitar. It's important to take your time and make precise adjustments to ensure the tremolo functions correctly and stays in tune.
To properly install and use a Fender tremolo bar on your guitar, first insert the bar into the tremolo bridge. Make sure it is securely in place. To use the tremolo bar, simply push or pull on it while playing to create pitch variations or vibrato effects. Practice using it gently at first to avoid tuning issues.
I own an Ibanez RG350MDX it's the only electric I have and I've had it for 2 years and enjoy it very much, If it's a first guitar stay away from guitars with floating bridge tremolo system(ie. Floyd Rose) they are very sensitive and can be difficult to adjust. Keep Rocking \m/
Depends what you mean by a tremolo... If you mean a wammy bar on a guitar, then its a bridge that changes the pitch of all the strings at once If you mean a tremolo pedal, its a pedals that changes to volume of your guitar constantly
E.g a tune-o-matic Doesn't float. No tremolo. etc Like a good old Gibson Les Paul.

A floating locking nut on a guitar helps keep the strings in tune by securing them firmly in place. This improves the instrument's performance by reducing the likelihood of the strings slipping out of tune, especially when using the tremolo bar for pitch changes.
