Standard Tremolo System
Vega Trem - VT1 Ultra Trem
(Glossy)
The tremolo, reinventedThe Vega Trem VT1 Ultra Standard Trem system is based around two simple principles: the adaptation of the bridge dimensions to the existing standard cavity in the ST models and the bridge pivoting system. Adapting the dimensions 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, reducing 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).

Easy to Install
no problemIf you have already mounted, adjusted or simply changed strings with any of the existing tremolos on the market and are not a handyman or aspiring luthier, then you already know it isn’t an easy task. Vega Trem have redesigned everything so that with a simple video and a screwdriver you can mount your VT1 UltraTrem in the blink of an eye. Don't let the word dismount scare you see the Antichrist, your luthier or your trusted store will be happy, as this task has been made simple.
Your Beloved ST, Unspoiled
no damageIf 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, by drilling new holes, and screwing into the original bridge cavity. If 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
the most compact tremolo on the marketIf so far, what you’ve read hasn't convinced you that changing to VT1 offers enough benefits then there’s one more very important reason.
The VT1 is, by its original design, the most compact tremolo on the market, meaning it doesn't 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
great aestheticIf you love the look of your guitar you wont like the idea of having to replace the original bridge with a metal brick like the tremolos thus far available on the market.
This is no longer a worry as 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. Although we may not confess it, we all care about the aesthetics of the instrument.
Musical
elevate your styleAll 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.
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.
