Tele-stets bar trem
Forget bigsby"s on telecasters,check out the amazing Stets-bar trem unit available and be prepared to want one, perfect pitch up and down and sooo' smooth.

Looks awesome, a lot like the Skyway vibrato, although the Skyway requires a tiny bit of routing from what I understand. Personally I'm enamored with the Tremking (www.tremking.com) because it allows you to do unison bends with no detuning of the other strings, and you can break a string and all the other strings will stay in perfect tune. Take the bar out and the guitar essentially becomes a hardtail. Nifty huh? The only thing that could be a downside for some is that it requires routing the body, unlike the Stetsbar.

The great thing is we all find what works for us, like willy Nelson's old guitar. The Stets' is a magic bullet for L/P's and 335's as it bolts right onto the bridge fixing studs without any fuss or damage. Combined with a set of Tv's it rings my bell!

Problem is, it's super expensive. Besides that, I like them a lot.

Price drop is coming with a new manufacture deal

It will surely help them with the sales, I fitted a few last year for guy's who c'dnt wait but the importer told me that pending a far-east (??) production deal they would be a much more realistic price in 2008.probably be a special( Olympic'model ) he he!
