Claim:
1. A tremolo arm, comprising: a planar member having a proximal end opposite a distal end; said proximal end configured to operatively engage with a guitar bridge to an as-used engagement, said planar member having a first side edge extending between said proximal end and said distal end; said planar member having a second side edge extending between said proximal end and said distal end, said second side edge being opposite said first side edge; said first side edge extending in an arched curve between said proximal end and said distal end; said second side edge having a projecting edge portion proximal to said proximal end, said projecting edge portion defining a projection extending in a direction away from said first side edge and in between said proximal end and said distal end; said second side edge having a curved section extending from said distal end to an intersection with said projecting edge; said curved section defining a grip for fingers of a user to engage during a translation of said tremolo arm toward and away from an underlying guitar body; and a first side surface of said planar member having a contour positioned in a central area between said proximal end, said distal end, and said first side edge and said second side edge, wherein said contour provides a complimentary engagement with an exterior of a palm of said user of said guitar with said planar member in said as-used engagement.
