U-Bar

The U-bar is an alternative for the standard tremolo arm. It lets you palm the bridge to get tremolo effects without touching the fine tuners. The K7 models came with a specially modified Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo to accommodate the U-bar but also came with a standard arm for traditional set-up.
