This bridge and trem has really improved my guitar. After installation and set up I noticed changes in the transmission of string vibration throughout the guitar. I noticed a more even sound and volume dynamic across the whole guitar - even acoustically - and I couldn't believe the the guitar's ability to sustain single notes and chords.
I installed it as part of a general upgrade of my Strat (along with a graphite nut and locking tuners) and I'm really pleased I did. I can't fault it ! It's really well engineered, looks great on the guitar and in terms of set up and adjustment, the components all work really well. It's the best trem and bridge I've ever encountered on a Strat.
The whammy bar does not screw in like traditional strat trem bridges. This is a good thing ! But look out for and make sure you tighten the grub screw at the back edge of the bridge behind the hole for the whammy bar (with supplied Allen Key) , otherwise you'll be left wondering why the bar keeps falling out !!
All this doesn't come cheap, but I think it's well worth the money and I'm going to buy another one for Strat #2 !
