Description
The electric guitar started a worldwide musical revolution thanks to Leo Fender and his two creations: the Telecaster and the Stratocaster. Now, 7 decades after the launch of these iconic guitars, VegaTrem closes the circle by creating this vibrato for Telecasters — the VegaTrem VT2 Teletrem! This innovative tremolo grants the T-style a new sound without the need of modifying a single millimeter of Leo’s fantastic original design!
This is, once again, a revolutionary creation since the Telecaster was conceived 70 years ago as a fixed bridge guitar and without space for a vibrato. The solution was to take advantage of the 6 holes that cross the body of the guitar from the bottom to the top, and place some springs that would enable the classic tremolo movement and, at the same time, enrich the tone and sustain without getting out of tune. This new tremolo/vibrato, with its very own VegaTrem tuning stability, expands the future musical possibilities of this legendary guitar: Tremolutionary, again!
T-type electric guitars were not originally designed to receive a tremolo/vibrato. But VegaTrem’s audacious solution, combined with the use of extraordinary quality materials such as marine-grade stainless steel and brass saddles (like the classic design), enhances the tonal qualities of your Tele guitar — regardless of whether you’re using the vibrato or not. Without a doubt, the possibilities of “pulling up” to up to half a tone, or “dive bombing”, as well as the expression, the new sound and musical life a vibrato can give to these legendary guitars.
Installing a VT2 Teletrem, unlike other options on the market, deeply respect the body of your beloved guitar without the need of making any permanent changes. The VT2 Teletrem Modern is designed for T-style guitars that use contemporary dimensions bridges (66mm between the string holes to the top screw of the bridge pickup).
