TREM-KING TK-2 Fixed Bridge Guitar Vibrato
Trem-King TK-2
This model is designed for guitars that have a slanted single coil pickup at the bridge that mounts to the bridge plate. The vibrato works exactly the same as the TK-1, but uses a different bridge plate. Routing of a spring cavity is necessary for installation of this unit. Installation instructions and a template showing the necessary cutout are provided with each unit.
The
Fixed Bridge Concept
The
newly patented TREM KING is a vibrato system for guitars that uses the
fixed bridge concept. The bridge plate is fixed to the body of the
guitar. The GRAPH TECH GRAPHITE saddles are fixed to the
bridge and do not move. The intonation point and string height never change
as with many other designs. All the action happens inside the guitar. And
the best part is NOTHING happens until you touch the vibrato bar.
The
Vibrato Action
The
bar inserts directly into the tone block for the best leverage. The tone
block pivots back and forth to provide the vibrato action. The TREM KING
is able to act as a fixed bridge because the critical balance of string
tension versus spring pressure combined with the patented Tension Bar.
The tone block only moves when the vibrato bar is moved. When you use the
vibrato bar, the tension bar brings the tone block back to the same Zero
Point time after time. Two springs are normally all that are necessary
to provide this balance. This allows for very light (2 lbs.) pressure to
actuate the vibrato. The feel is precise and smooth.
Get
A Grip
Along
with the exclusive Grip Tip Vibrato Bar that has an adjustable rubber tip,
the TREM KING is a joy to play. There is no locking nut necessary on the
TREM KING. You can drop tune and not have to re-tune all the other strings.
If you break a string while playing, your guitar will stay in tune and
you can finish the song. The strings are easily and quickly replaced by
loading through the bottom of the tone block with no cutting or special
tools necessary.
