The VT1 may be the finest trem. ever made!
The Tremolo, reinvented
You wanted a floating bridge that did not force you to pierce or modify your beloved ST guitar and so we did. You wanted a vibrato that did not stand out more than the original bridge, because here it is. You dreamed with total freedom of movement and that the lever never bothered and that’s the way it is. You sighed for a tremolo free of unwanted noise and we have made it come true. You wanted to free yourself from the nuisance of the micro-tuners, because here you have it.
Welcome to the VT1 UltraTrem: the floating bridge, reinvented.
The patented VT system (ES 1119430 U) is based on two basic principles: the adaptation of the bridge dimensions to the existing standard cavity in the ST models and the bridge pivoting system. Adapting the dimensions aims to allow the bridge to freely enter into the cavity of the guitar body by pulling the whammy bar back (tensioning the strings) and requires a redesign of the complete assembly (saddles, plate and block). To optimize the movement of the bridge, the pivotal center of action has been changed by adding a part (fulcrum) that replaced the traditional concept of support on screws, giving more amplitude to that movement. The shape of the point of support of the plate on the fulcrum has also been changed, minimizing friction, which is practically non-existent. The result is a homogeneous action very pleasing to the musical performance totally free of unwanted noises. (It is recommended to use low friction nuts and locking tuners).
Simple, no problem
If you have already mounted, adjusted or simply changed strings with any of the existing tremolos on the market and you are not a handyman or aspiring luthier, then you already know it isn’t such an easy task at all. So we have redesigned everything so that with a simple video and a screwdriver you can mount your VT1 UltraTrem in the blink of an eye. And if when you hear the word dismount you see the Antichrist, do not worry, your luthier or your trusted store will be happy: they will never have earned such easy money for doing something so simple.
Simple, no problem
If you have looked into it, you will know that up until today, mounting your floating bridge on an ST type guitar meant that you always needed to modify, and this meant drilling new holes, and screwing into the original bridge cavity. Whether your beloved Stratocaster is a classic or an upgraded standard, A PROFANE ACT indeed! For this reason, we invented the VT1 UltraTrem. That means not having to drill, sand, or enlarge anything, since it fits perfectly into the original cavity.
Comfort
If, by what you’ve read so far, you’re not convinced that changing to VT1 offers enough benefits? Well, there’s one more very important reason: the VT1 is, by its original design, the most compact tremolo on the market, therefore, it does not stick out from the body, as usually happens with other tremolos, and this means the whammy bar won’t in any way hinder your interpretation
Appealing
If you love the look of your guitar you will not be thrilled to have to replace the original bridge with a metal brick like the tremolos thus far available on the market. But that’s history. The VT1 UltraTrem fits almost in the same space as the original bridge, so your guitar will look as beautiful as ever and you will love the stainless steel top coating. Because although we may not confess it, we all care about our aesthetics and we all have a Rock Star soul.
Musical
All the mechanical improvements of the VT1 UltraTrem, in relation to everything previously existing, make it behave in a more musical way, it is no longer just the tone and the absence of noise, it is also that the intervals that you get when tightening the strings are harmonically compatible, so you can add to your interpretation, the typical phrasing of a pedal Steel, or super tuned glissandos.
Our History
A professional guitarist, Isaac Vega, a luthier, a drill, a milling machine and a lot of enthusiasm: this is how the VT1 story began in 2013. After four years of testing, hundreds of hours of research and a multitude of prototypes later, came the final crucial test: Trying it out in a live concert in real conditions with professional guitar players. The result is here: everyone agreed that the VT1, the first product of VegaTrem, is a tremolo mechanically, musically and aesthetically superior to any other available on the market, so get yourself a VT1 UltraTrem, you’ll make history.
