I put one in my Vintage V6 and actually had to use my dremel to remove a tiny bit of material at the sides of the route hole to fit the unit but the good news is that it hides the hole much better than a Fender! So far its pretty cool but I need to become accustomed to the feel. I am using the recommended medium springs with 10 to 46 strings. Maybe the higher tension would give a slightly firmer feel? I actually found the tone better and more focused.
@@musoseven8218 No, I actually put in 3 springs (2 mediums and another basically the same) as I found it more stable for staying in tune. A looser feel will not pull the strings back into tune as reliably. It may seem easier to use but with increased firmness I found it more controllable and stable. I really do love it though, it does take some time to get it to balance but it seems to be best with the bridge being as close to parallel to the top of the guitar as possible by tightening the claw until it is balanced. I love the Vegatrem and it is everything that I wanted. With just about any trem without nutblocks you may need to give it a quick pull up to reset after a dive bomb.
This is one of the best reviews of any product I've seen so far on RUclips, not to mention your playing. I could listen to you all day! It's great when a professional like you shares his knowledge. Where ya from, Jon? You sound like a Californian but I'm guessing you're either from New York or Hawaii?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud You bet I did. sub! You're a great musician and teacher. I've met folks from the mainland but elsewhere. You're the first person I've known from Singapore. You could easily pass for an American, hahaha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Jon, I know you have many projects, but I have two questions that may be helpful to a lot of subscribers choosing between bridges on a new guitar. 1) is vigorous string bending more challenging with a floating bridge, because the strings and hardware are connected and you are actually pulling the bridge forward? 2) if a string is bent enough, on a floating bridge the other strings go flat, so unison bends involving two adjacent strings (one bent, one not) with a heavy bend a la Gary Moore, etc will sound way off? Whether you have time to answer or not, I have learned so much after reviewing your videos over the last five years!
@@JonIsJustTooLoudThank you, Jon.For 2) I get the 2nd string may also have to be bent more or less to get the same pitch. On my fixed bridge, I just have to bend one and strike the second string almost simultaneously. Getting more confident about entering the uncharted waters of a tremolo system from your videos and discussions about them!
Jon, I use my vt-1 pretty aggressively as well! I’ve noticed the bridge blade will slide during play slightly taking the strings out of alignment with the pick up poles. Have you experienced this with your Vegatrem equipped guitars? I still thoroughly enjoy my Vegatrem but having to check string alignment and push the bridge around, well… 🙏🔑✌️🇮🇱
always fancy your playing and review. by chance how these trem to supervee trem? wanted to try Vega-Trem just that i heard changing strings would be a lil troublesome.
I was pondering that (a string snapping) in a gig situation - not that I gig these days. On my Fender System One ('Contemporary' Japanese Fender HH Strat) I fitted a device after a string break during a solo at a gig - embarrassing - that was thirty plus years ago and I forget the name of the device (I never have to take the backplate off as it has a large slotted aperture for the strings - they still get trapped from time to time when replacing them though) - it did a similar job as some of the Ibanez terms, although it's far from perfect.
How does the trem do with bends? Do the other strings drop in pitch or can one do a double stop bend and keep it in tune without much compensation? Thanks.
Bonjour Jon , j ai un enorme conseil a vous demander car je suis vraiment indecis , j avais dans l optique d acheter une Schecter Nick Johnston SSS , je possede depuis 2018 une Squier classic Vibe 50 stratocaster que j adores , et je me demandes si je ne devrais pas la mettre a niveau avec un vega trem , des mecanique a blocage et une nouvelle electronique , cela me couterais environ la moitié du prix de la schecter , alors je n aurais pas de nouvelle guitare , mais je conserverais cette classic vibe que j adores , pourriez vous me donner votre avis s il vous plait , pensez vous qu une mise a niveau est utile ? dans l attente de votre reponse , merci .

Jonathan, do you know if the Vega Trem can be used with a Fender rake for more than two springs attaching to the Vega Trem? I am putting together a Strat baritone with D'Addario EXL157 or 158 strings. Do you know if the pickups would accommodate strings of such gauges?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I've asked four separate times to Vega-Trem on their website and in RUclips links. One reply that really was not an answer. Thank you for your reply!
@@vosborne945 I see... maybe just put a cheap regular tremolo system and if it works you can maybe decide whether the vegatrem would still be viable. The vegatrem comes in 3 tensions.. so I’m pretty sure it can handle the tension. You can always add more springs if you need. Hope this helps✌️❤️
Will it fit my 1955 Stratocaster and do you think it would cause any permanent damage since the guitar is so old/could be changed back to original without being noticed?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks for getting intrested in my comment! What I actually wanted to ask is was there significant improvement in the sustain in your Harley after replacing the Wilkinson bridge? The stock trem seems to really struggle with sustaining notes compared to it's fixed bridge version. By the way, watched few of your videos, very informative and you played nice as well, good reviews :)
@@billyarbrough291 You dont need locking tuners...this is a tremolo system. For a guitar to stay in tune well..you will need to make sure that the nut is cut properly and not prone to catching the strings. Also try to change your existing string trees to tusq ones or better still..get staggered locking tuners and discard the string trees altogether.
Hi Jonathan, how are you? Thanks for the review!!! I just had one question... What's the measure of the block? I'm interested in this trem for an upgrade but I don't know about the deepness of the block... It's for my first guitar (Cheap but with a gigantic value for me) and I think doesn't have the necessary thickness (Squier Bullet Strat, between 40 - 41 mm) to fit properly, i'll be glad if you give that info.
Hmm...I didn't realize you could pull up so far with these styles of tremolo...I had always thought that Floyd Rose and similar approaches were the only game in town for doing those types of aggressive effects. Good to know!
Hi Jon, was wondering did you buy this directly from Vegatrem? I am based in Singapore as well and have placed an order on 3 Jul 2024 but have yet to receive my order. I also tried contacting Vegatrem but they were not responsive. Would appreciate if you could share how long the delivery took for you and where you purchase it from.
Sadly it just did not work for me. A couple of points... 1: Faulty spring twisted so badly it would not stay on the claw. 2: No response from Vega Trem. I had no choice but to return to Thomann as the support was not there. When I did try the Vega trem I have to say that it was very smooth but never stayed in tune, no amount of balancing helped. It became a real pain. Eventually I changed the nut for a Tusq XL self lubricating and it improved the tuning. However, my standard Fender two point trem is perfect since the Nut change and better as far as tuning goes. The only difference is that the Vega trem is smoother on the downward plunge. The price tag can never be justified. My advice is to keep your fender trem and work from that point...look at the nut, saddles rough edges on the block etc and you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. Vega Trem really need to respond to customers. If there is no support, then there is no product worth pursuing or buying. Great Video...great guitarist !
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I didn't have a problem either installing. It just did not work ! My point being, is that a product is only as good as the support you receive from the Company.

@@JonIsJustTooLoud When tuning in drop D tuning ..to keep the system level with the body ..do you adjust the spring tension as you tune so it stays level with body sry for bad explanation...using medium springs on a American strat ...great channel JK
@@MASE175 Hey Mark.. if I was doing drop D, yes I would adjust like any guitar tuning( including adjusting the spring claws). The problem, like any floating bridge guitar, is that you can’t alternate between normal and drop tunings on the fly.
Great musicianship - really enjoyable 🎸👍 A great review too👍 The Vega trem seems superb, really compliments the Strat. I've had four Japanese Strats - I still have two, my oldest I purchased new in about 1986 - always found the build quality to be superb, yet full of character (I have uprated the pickups though - usually to Seymour Duncans. 1980s Japanese Strats in UK had issues with lower output pickups, something to do with export/import considerations so I was once told). I've had other Japanese brands of guitar too and found them great value for money, very playable and, dare I say it, back in the 1980s, better quality than US made guitars. I had a Yamaha Pacifica - HSS base model - superb, but lacked character and soul of my Japanese Fenders. Can I ask, are your machine heads standard or locking please? Thanks 🎸👍💜😊
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks that's very cool. Ive decent machine heads on my three Strats, was considering locking machine heads, but probably won't bother now - if I get a Vega🎸👍👍😊🤞👍
The main reasons for getting locking tuners is easy string change and tuning stability. But the main culprit for tuning problems is the nut. If you have a well cut nut, you will be a happy man✌️❤️
Been looking at this trem for a while to put on a homemade strat. It does seem a good design, but the specific tone of a strat largely comes from a good quality vintage bridge. I have a callaham on mine and okay it can't do the wild dives and pull ups, but that tone :) Could be the signal chain you are using in this video, but in the first introduction video of this strat it sounded awesome. Now it's a bit flat sounding to me, less strat mojo.
Koen Strobbe I understand your point.. have you seen the kemper video where I used the same strat with the vegatrem? I noticed very slight and I mean really slight tonal changes after I installed the trem.✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yes i did :) the trem does seem to sustain well and can do subtle things better than a vintage bridge. it is a really good sounding guitar though! i'll keep the callaham on the '78 strat (well hardly still a '78 strat, replaced the heavy ash with a warmoth one piece swamp ash, and pickups with alnico pros) and want to try the vega on a partscaster. really like your videos! check them every day lol

Hi Jonathan great review on the Vega Trem. I have a question. Do the strings go out of tune if one string pop with the Vega Trem installed??
Yes it would...after all it's s till a floating bridge ✌♥
