Tremolos
Burns Tremolo: not a bad thought, but it doesn't hold the zero position.
Fender Coronado Trem: Wow, the leaf spring! I think the Müller company already had that before.
Crucianelli Trem: Leaf spring underneath.
Crucianelli Long Trem: Duesenberg inspiration?
DDR-Tremolo: The tailpiece sits at the back with a knife edge and moves horizontally. But it does not work sufficiently!
Duesenberg Vibromaster with leaf spring.
Very defined and secure!
EKO Short Trem: Works!
EKO Trem: Interesting construction! The tailpiece moves horizontally back and forth when the tremolo is activated.
ESP Flicker: Early 80s. The very first Fender Strat tremolo replacement. Works great!
Floyd-type: One of many of these colossuses!
Framus HIFI Trem: Müller Company. Works. But HIFI?
Framus Trem with wooden cover over the return spring. Does not work at all! No defined zero position!
Framus Trem : Müller Company. Works perfectly!
Gemelli Trem: Works perfectly! Knife edges. Only too narrow string spacing.
German Trem: Müller? Not a beauty. But works in any case.
Gretsch Bigsby "B3": Nice. But poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.
Gretsch Hand Trem: Clamps the strings between tailpiece and bridge. Absolutely useless!
Hand-ball trem: From whoever. Doesn't work at all!
Hoefner Trem: sintered bearing bushes. Works great, only poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.
Hoefner / Roger trem: Works great here.
Hoefner trem: On many solid bodies. Mounted underneath the body for good string pressure on the bridge. Respect!
Ibanez very old: Hard, but works.
Inter-Mark Trem: Japanese. Design a little bit scampi-like. But it works.
Jolanda Trem: Has something! Just the string pressure again.
Kahler tremolo: A classic with a lot of weight.
Klira Trem: A masterpiece of the Müller Company. Everything hand milled and bent. Ball bearings, best function!
ROKO (Kolb) Trem: Probably the first German Bigsby copy. Works!
Meazzi Tremolo: Inside is a torsion bar as "return spring. Very stiff and weak pressure of the strings on the bridge.
Meazzi cheap tremolo: Better not!
Migma Trem: GDR. Not beautiful, but it works.
Mosrite Tremolo: not very zero-positioned!
Mosrite Trem: Very chic, but does not necessarily hold the zero position.
A Mosrite Trem with an imaginary "Trans-Trem" function. But unfortunately useless, especially because of the high E-string!
Rockinger Black Box: My stop device for Fender Strat-like trems. Sales hit!
Rockinger Tru Tune Tremolo: The very first tremolo with fine tuners (before the Floyd Rose). Unfortunately the Floyd
Schaller Tremolo: Works. Only poor pressure of the strings on the bridge.
SG-Tremolo with bent leaf spring. Very stiff. Actually useless!
Side To Side: On Gibson SGs: completely useless and problematic!
On Gibson SGs: completely useless and problematic! Here without cover.
Soviet Trem: Underneath. Good thinking, the Russians! And it works.
Steinberger Trem: Should keep the chord harmonious when pressed. Only works with certain string sets. Many annoyed guitarists!
Steinberger Trem: Should keep the chord harmonious when pressed. Only works with certain string sets. Many annoyed guitarists!
Fender Strat Tremolo: What to say? For me until today no really perfect.
Duesenberg Radiator Tremolo: Is there anything more beautiful?
Tremolos almost up to Dive Bombs and always returns to zero. And the string threading without nerve!
TK-Smith Bigsby-style: Nice!
Duesenberg Tremola: Our Trem, which eliminates all the disadvantages of the Bigsby-original! Tremolates almost to Dive Bombs and always returns to zero. And the string threading without nerve!
ender Jazzmaster Tremolo: Useless, because much too hard to play!
Wilkinson Strat Trem: Works great. Modern design.
Paul Reed Smith Tremolo: More elegant than the Fender Original.
Germany (ROKO?): extremely ugly!
Fender Vintage Strat Tremolo.
Wandré Tremolo: bearing with two pins. Works, although a bit hard.
Welson Trem: Italy. Should have a fixed zero point. Does not work, but goes very hard.
Wigsby: Trevor Wilkinson's attempt. In any case he did not know the German word "wank". Unfortunately this part does not work despite clever, innovative technology. No defined zero position!
More rollers imossible!
