I just installed 2 today in my EVH Wolfgang Specials. Took about 20 minutes a piece. It's a very solid component and easy to adjust. I'll be buying more in the near future. Very good product.

[@tonevise3834]

Thank you for sharing that, made my day!

[@mjones53]

Thanks for the video. I got mine yesterday and got it installed but some good tips in this video. Very nice product, very happy with it.

[@tonevise3834]

Great to hear!

[@MarkGray1970]

This looks great! I have a tremol-no on one of my guitars, but I like the looks of this. It looks easy to adjust and change between floating, dive only and locked.

[@tonevise3834]

Glad you like it!

[@HotRailCo]

I just put my order in for this system!!! I can't wait to try it out :)

[@tonevise3834]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@enzoloveless132]

Excellent, can't wait to get mine :D

[@tonevise3834]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@benburnett8109]

What an over engineered device!! And I love it. Thanks for the upload. When will these be available for purchase.

[@tonevise3834]

I have them for sale on Reverb.com. More coming in stock everyday.

This looks very interesting and appears to solves the problem of light trem use up and down around a pitch causing an odd clinking feel each time the trem block touches the stabilizer. Is the pull-up range limited compared to no device installed? Thanks!

[@stevenhowell4694]

Brilliant, I'll take 2.

[@stevesheroan4131]

Seems the only “drawback (no pun)” is that the system is not adaptable to block lengths (32mm, 37mm, etc). This is true of most other trem mods other than a standard blocker. An example is the Super-Vee Mag-lok. It works great on guitars where the block is long (tall?) enough to leave clearance for the Mag-lok, otherwise it doesn’t work well and can pull out of the block on pull-ups of the bar. Regular springs can work fine with blocks that are too long or too short for some stabilizers, so I’m wondering if there’s an optimal clearance (distance between the surface of the trem cavity to the “top” of the block) for this device? I don’t mind switching out the block if I can make this work.

[@tonevise3834]

The Vaibrant guitar in the video came with a 36mm block on the stock FRT1000 Floyd. I switched it out to a shorter 32mm block to get the Treminator to sit lower in the trem cavity and it works great. The internal tremolo spring can flex in use just as the other springs do so it probably has a wider range than the Mag-lok. I also installed one of the prototypes in my 93' Strat using the stock 2 point Fender tremolo and 42mm block that came with it. Floating the trem per Fender specs it works great in that guitar too.

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@tonevise3834 Thanks so much for the insight. Really stoked to hear that you actually were able to use a SHORTER block on yours. I’ve been using a combination of Mag-lok to stabilize oblique bends and a traditional trem blocker with tight springs for dive-only and tuning stability. I have a backbox on one guitar for pull-up duty, but it’s finicky and I’d love to have the stability of my “2-step stabilized” guitars AND the ability to pull up. Sounds like this could be the ticket.

[@jamesmoses4066]

Can we get a stainless steel version? I hate how brass becomes brown after a while

[@tonevise3834]

Possibly in the future

[@1965niles]

When are these going to be available ? I love the Edge zero point and this looks kinda of a mix between that and a hipshot stabilizer on steroids and way easier to set up than the hipshot

[@tonevise3834]

There are a few left as of today.

[@timkoelln3826]

Looks awesome! How soon til they’re available to buy?

[@tonevise3834]

I have them on my website and Reverb.com

[@charlesrichardson6461]

Will the Treminator install without any problems or mods on a PRS SE tremolo guitar?

[@philmartin9486]

This looks like a great solution to the problems I have. I’m assuming you plan to sell these…. Have any idea when they might be available?

[@realtruenorth]

He sells them on the website. And occasionally they pop up on reverb.

[@VintageGuitarist66]

How can we get them?? Looks great! Don't see a way to purchase on your site. Thanks!

[@tonevise3834]

[@darrelloxford7101]

Where can I get one got a Vega trem bridge for my strat

[@tonevise3834]

[@itconqueredtheworldsmith4053]

Very nice !

[@tonevise3834]

Thank you!

[@tospace2006]

Is it possible to install it with Schaller Sure Claw?

[@tonevise3834]

I don't believe so.

[@netrunner2049]

So does this thing make up for the tension loss of the middle spring? Can you pull up and dive when it's in stabilizer mode? I'd like to see how the mechanism moves pulling up and diving with the tremolo bar. Is there an internal spring counterbalancing the external spring mechanism?

[@tonevise3834]

It has a custom internal tremolo spring. Yes, in stabilizer mode you can go both up and down.

[@racron88]

When will they be available again?

[@tonevise3834]

I have them on my website and Reverb.com

[@MaxStone-i3e]

This can be used with the pitch shifter as well, correct?

[@tonevise3834]

Absolutely!

[@aaronmurphy1007]

If I’m using 2 springs with 9’s will I need to adjust the claw for a 3 spring setup?

[@tonevise3834]

Maybe, the interior spring is based the springs Schaller shipped with the OFC so it would depend on what the tension of the springs you're currently using is.

[@davidpostmus809]

When are these gonna be available?? Money burning a hole in my pocket

[@tonevise3834]

I have them on my website and Reverb.com

[@scottpeters4401]

I want to install a D-Tuna device on my floating FR….but,I still want it to go up or down..Will this let me do that?…

[@tonevise3834]

Yes, please see the demo video.

@@tonevise3834 Awesome! Thank you!! Ordered!! I recently received the keyless nut locks and they are a game changer!!

[@ratspam7655]

Impressive. Please update the website!

[@thisiscrap34]

Now, what about a 7 String guitar? I ONLY PLAY SEVENS, so how well do these things play with more string tension? And is it possible to use other springs - ala FU-Tone silent springs 'super heavy' tension? Very interested, maybe could use IF it plays nice with 7 strings - and heavier gauge strings! (When they come back in stock, that Is!)

[@tonevise3834]

I'm not sure about 7 string guitars, if using super heavy springs this probably isn't necessary.
