For
guitars that are fitted with vibrato with the traditional six screw
system. Finished in high quality stainless steel. 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.
