Vega-Trem VT1 Standard 6-Screw Stratocaster Guitar Tremolo Bridge For Strat No Mods Easy Installation (Satin, Right)

What can I say? This is well designed, simple yet effective for nice tremolo effect. Super smooth and huge improvement over stock fender trem bridge. Incredibly smooth, just follow the instructions for an ez install. Brilliant!

Easy to install! Smooth action both ways!I don't know if you can go full Vai on it, but, with locking tuners in place it seems to hold tuning really well! I tried about 10 full dive bombs...stays in in tune; but pulling it up may affect tuning (which is more so due to tuners). Definitely recommend!However, it would've been great if they had added a more detailed manual on how to adjust the action!Good thing there is youtube for everything. First, loosen the intonation screw - the big screw on the saddle which holds the saddle in place. Then, you can tweak smaller screws to raise the action.

Showed up in one day! Completely intact packaging and zero damage. The vendor and shipper did a great job and the after some setup the Vega-Trem works amazingly!

Since I can’t give lower than 1 star, I will give a few good points before the bad.Pros:- easy and fast to install and set up- made the tone of the guitar come alive- has a great feel- looks good- great range.Cons:- constantly slid left to right (very standard setup, 10-46 strings, normal springs etc), which when not sliding it would hold rock solid tuning, but when sliding no.- string breaker….before installing this I could count on one hand how many strings I broke in 40+ years of playing. I broke 2 in less than 12 hours. No burrs or anything found…just poor design- intonation/action adjustment feels like screws will stripFor a trem that cost more than the best Floyds out there I expected perfection, and I really wanted to like it because of how it looked, felt and sounded, and the tuning stability, until it slid. So close to a perfect design, that if they could fix the 2 HUGE issues, this trem would be on every guitar. Until then, no thank you!

Installed on my Strat after a YouTube review. Best thing ever get it!

I have every reason to believe that this will be an amazing bridge (I will update again once it's installed). It seems like a solid build and feel, and the bar fits tightly with a teflon bushing and no slop or slack. That being said I got the black bridge and in the short time I've owned it after taking it out of the package and doing a test fit before painting my strat body, it's already showing paint wear from handing with bare hands and not coming in contact with any hard or sharp surfaces other than maybe a fingernail. The paint is rubbing off on the bridges sharp edges and the rough part of the block. The kit (it was factory sealed and in new condition) also didn't include set screws on the bridge block to lock the springs. One of the first things shown on the installation video was how to lock the spring to the bridge block with the set screw. Lastly it had a sticker on the trem arm telling you to keep it lubed, but it didn't include lube for the arm or the knife edge contacts of the bridge, both of which are sold for extra $ on the Vega Trem website. I think this will be a fantastic bridge and function wonderfully, and the seller shipped promptly through Amazon. It possibly deserves a 5 star review for tone and function (as I said, I'll update on the performance once installed) as everyone raves about the feel and range of the bridge, but I'm giving it 3 stars for my disappointment in the finish quality and that it's missing the set screws. I might also mention, I emailed VT and have yet to get a response about the missing parts. If you buy one of these bridges plan on picking up some metric 3x3 grub screws for the block, and maybe a few 3x5 for the saddles so if you need to adjust them low they're not poking the palm of your hand when bridge muting. Also, maybe reconsider getting black if you don't like "relic" guitars, as I'm sure the chrome or satin finish would hold up better. I hope my bar doesn't get all chipped up.... This is one of the most expensive bridges you can get, so I'm somewhat disappointed in it for the price.
