Duesenberg Les Trem II Gold TM85G

I wanted to add a vibrato to my DBZ Imperial. For those of you who don't know this guitar; it is a really light and super thin guitar. I had toyed with the idea of adding a trem to the guitar, but most trems require some routing, and taking even more wood out of this guitar would really be impossible. A Bigsby on another guitar got my attention, until I figured that type of bridge might throw my DBZ off balance. I came upon this trem, and I couldn't be happier. Nice action (more or less half a step up and half a step down) and you can use it for subtle movements or less subtle dives and pull ups. Obviously, it's not a Floyd either, but that wasn't what I was after. I should mention that I paired this up with a roller bridge(ABM), since I thought the stock saddles would tear my strings to shreds if I used the trem too much. That might have been a bit overreacted, the break angle of the strings leaving the trem is quite shallow, but nevertheless it makes a nice pair. Installing was really easy. The posts included with the Les Trem were a direct fit to the stock bridge bushings. All in all a great trem for a reasonable price!

I've got a guitar with nearly every tremolo in the rainbow, but I tried a chrome one and fell in love, so I got a gold one for another guitar. Anytime I want, I can switch it to a different stop tailpiece guitar, without invasive modifications. That's enough for the price, but along with the engineering, you also get the most meticulous and beautiful work with metals on Earth. It is beautiful and combined with it's flawless real purpose, I'm impressed and extremely happy to have discovered them. They are rare as hens teeth here in the states, so I was thrilled to be able to purchase and receive one in such amazing speed. Four days and I was playing guitar with a gold one. Thanks to Thomann from Rolla, MO USA!

Took me literally 10min to mount it and have it right. Read the manual to be sure it works as expected. You'll need a rolling bridge if you have a normal one.

For jazz and gentle vibrato works quite good. This one will not go down/high too far, is only for vibrato.

After quite some time using it I can highly recommend it, what I ended doing was to couple it with a Schaller roller bridge, an ABM LP roller nut and gold planetwaves locking tuners. (Harley Benton vintage LP white with all gold hardware, looks fantastic)

The guitar simply won't go out of tune, as if we were talking about a floyd rose system.
