VegaTrem VT1 UltraTrem Std.St.Steel Glo

En remplacement d'un vibrato sur une strat mexicaine. Les trous tombent pile en face, le montage n'est pas trop compliqué à condition d 'être minutieux , en fait le bloc n'est tenu que par les ressorts et vient se caler contre la butée.... assez étrange mais cela fonctionne très bien, le tuto vidéo est bien fait. Excellente tenu d'accordage a condition d'avoir des mécaniques à blocage. Deux petits bémols, les accroches des ressorts ne sont pas toujours en face des attaches du corps de la guitare (rien de grave mais gênant lors de l'install ), et les clés allen sont de qualité moyenne.

I bought this device (VegaTrem VT1 Std. St. Steel) after viewing many videos of similar devices and by comparison it seemed the easiest to install with an enormous availability to maneuver the bending of the guitar strings.
Everything was exactly as described. It is a stable, solid mechanism that has no major problems in keeping the strings in tone. No modifications required. As a sustain, it looks a little shorter than the original Fender I had. It compensates by keeping the tuning and maximising free movement. It comes with four types of springs. The lowest tension springs are for the 0.8. I replaced the old one in about 15 minutes. I also use Fender Locking Tunners and a Tusk nut.
As for the Cons:
What I didn't find anywhere is the size of the device. I found that it is too deep (7mm) for the body of my guitar (Fender Squier) which is only 39.7 mm. The device protrudes from the body of the guitar by approximately 7 mm. So I'm a little disappointed with that.
I don't know if it's common, but the 6 blocks that guide and adjust the pitch are not the same. I received a set that contains three normal and three that have a bevel through which you can see, at the base, the height adjustment screws (at the saddle side). They seem to belong to another device model. Either one or the other.
I gave the maximum stars because the device makes all the money! For me, what he can do is more important than what he looks like.

I managed to put it on my Azes Ibanez ( with a little help from my friends ), but it wasn't straightforward, I had to chisel a bit of wood from the cavity and put a small rosewood plate under the knife so it levels up, the measures of AZ are close but not exact but it became great, I have a Strat too and my thought was if I won't make it I'll put it on Fender then but it worked and I'm happy with the outcome it's like from the factory and trem itself feels amazing, highly recommend!
