Guitar Tech Review: Bridge is good quality for the price, feels great, and is solid. However, there are some things you should know about before installing as not everyone has the tools or expertise to properly install and a professional may be required.Upon taking the tremolo out of the box, the brass block was loose. If this is the case with yours, there are 3 screws on the underside of the plate that holds the saddle cover down. Remove the 3 screws and the saddles will come off the plate with it. Tighten the 3 screws on the top of the plate holding the brass block. Reverse steps to reassemble.My installation was on a chinese made stratocaster style body. The trem cavity on the top side of the guitar was too small due to the size of the trem bushing on the underside of the plate. Luckily i had a Stew Mac strat routing template. After cutting away excess wood, the cavity was yet too small to allow good travel of trem system. Even more wood was removed to get proper clearances.The brass claw is very nice, however the distance of the 2 screws that attach it were different than the stock claw. Dowels were needed to fill the holes of the old claw screws, and new holes were redrilled for proper install.Overall, this a good trem, especially for the price, and the tone was a significant upgrade from the small zinc block. The noiseless springs were a good bonus. Intonation was dialed in perfectly, and it seems to hold tune well, though i used a trem stabilizer so take that with grain of salt. I would buy again, but it was easier for me since i have all necessary tools. The average player should take this into account before purchasing.

Guyker did an amazing job on this tremelo, high quality and built very well. Easy to install & obviously you want to make sure you have it set fully to the front towards the bridge pickup allowing full functionality! But definitely worth the money! Highly recommend

I bought this tremolo bridge for its design, which similar to musicman style tremolo bridge. the brass block was nice and solid. however the problem with the tremolo is at the barrel that holds tremolo arm. it was wiggling and not moving along with the bridge part. so you will expect like a delay in response, between your arm and the entire bridge. i tried to tighten it from underneath, but it was not helping.

Update #2There has been a considerable price increase. I can no longer recommend this bridge at the new price. It’s a $35 bridge (maybe $40 at best). Look elsewhere.Update #1It’s not perfect but you still get a lot for your money. I think the supplied springs have too much tension making it very hard to use the trem arm. The saddle posts are not machined smooth so the hight adjustment screws can be a bit hard to use and adjust. I suggest adding a little lube. Finally, the low E saddle is not sturdy using the set screw. The base has slots for whatever reason and the adjustment screws get cought in the slots making it difficult (but not impossible) to use.With all this brass, you can’t go wrong tonealy.I didn’t care for the springs since I needed something lighter. The holes on the brass claw are not perfectly in line with the ones drilled out on the body but other than that, it’s a very nice and impressive trem for the money. Let’s see how she holds up.

Great tremolo. Very solid construction and good looking to boot. Heavyweight aids stability along with dual fulcrum.
