For guitars that are fitted with vibrato with the traditional six screw system.
The pack includes springs, adaptors and screws for the fulcrum and 1.5 mm (1/16 “) and 2.5 mm (3/32”) allen keys.
The
patented VT system (ES 1119430 U) is based on two basic principles: the
adaptation of the bridge dimensions to the existing standard cavity in
the ST models and the bridge pivoting system. Adapting the dimensions
aims to allow the bridge to freely enter into the cavity of the guitar
body by pulling the whammy bar back (tensioning the strings) and
requires a redesign of the complete assembly (saddles, plate and block).
To optimize the movement of the bridge, the pivotal center of action
has been changed by adding a part (fulcrum) that replaced the
traditional concept of support on screws, giving more amplitude to that
movement. The shape of the point of support of the plate on the fulcrum
has also been changed, minimizing friction, which is practically
non-existent. The result is a homogeneous action very pleasing to the
musical performance totally free of unwanted noises. (It is recommended
to use low friction nuts and locking tuners).
The tremolo, reinvented
You
wanted a floating bridge that did not force you to drill into or modify
your beloved ST guitar, so we did it. You desired a vibrato bridge that
did not stick out more than the original bridge, and here it is. You
imagined total freedom of movement and a whammy bar that never caused
bother and here it is. You fantasized about a tremolo free of unwanted
noises and now that dream has come true. You wanted to get rid of the
hassle of microtuners. You have it.
Welcome to the VT1 UltraTrem: the tremolo, reinvented.
Simple, no problem
If
you have already mounted, adjusted or simply changed strings with any
of the existing tremolos on the market and you are not a handyman or
aspiring luthier, then you already know it isn’t such an easy task at
all. So we have redesigned everything so that with a simple video and a
screwdriver you can mount your VT1 UltraTrem in the blink of an eye. And
if when you hear the word dismount you see the Antichrist, do not
worry, your luthier or your trusted store will be happy: they will never
have earned such easy money for doing something so simple.
Your beloved ST, unspoiled
If
you have looked into it, you will know that up until today, mounting
your floating bridge on an ST type guitar meant that you always needed
to modify, and this meant drilling new holes, and screwing into the
original bridge cavity. Whether your beloved Stratocaster is a classic
or an upgraded standard, A PROFANE ACT indeed! For this reason, we
invented the VT1 UltraTrem. That means not having to drill, sand, or
enlarge anything, since it fits perfectly into the original cavity.
Comfort
If,
by what you’ve read so far, you’re not convinced that changing to VT1
offers enough benefits? Well, there’s one more very important reason:
the VT1 is, by its original design, the most compact tremolo on the
market, therefore, it does not stick out from the body, as usually
happens with other tremolos, and this means the whammy bar won’t in any
way hinder your interpretation.
Appealing
If you love the
look of your guitar you will not be thrilled to have to replace the
original bridge with a metal brick like the tremolos thus far available
on the market. But that’s history. The VT1 UltraTrem fits almost in the
same space as the original bridge, so your guitar will look as beautiful
as ever and you will love the stainless steel top coating. Because
although we may not confess it, we all care about our aesthetics and we
all have a Rock Star soul.
Musical
All the mechanical
improvements of the VT1 UltraTrem, in relation to everything previously
existing, make it behave in a more musical way, it is no longer just the
tone and the absence of noise, it is also that the intervals that you
get when tightening the strings are harmonically...
