The tremolo arm in my Floyd-Rose equipped guitar seems to be ever-so-slightly smaller than the cavity it slips into, and there is therefore a very small bit of play in it once it is in position. If you move it very gently back and forth, there's a very low noise when the bottom of the shaft hits one side or the other of the barrel. At loud settings, however, that knockong noise is audible (it even rings any open strings resulting in a knock followed by some ringing, not always in tune with the song).
I tried applying some thin material over the shaft, but nothing is thin enough, not even teflon tape (the plumbing type). It gets ripped when I reinsert the arm into its socket.
Any tips? Is this a known deficiency of Floyd Rose tremolos? Or is there a fix?
