FRTES Trem-Endus Tremolo Stabilizer Review

Simple, adjustable stabilizer

For those of us that use a D Tuna, this is exactly what the doctor ordered. It holds just enough tension (which you must adjust) to keep the bridge in place when de tuning. You can still pull up, but there is a significant increase in resistance this way. The only drawback is the screws are super small, and not every drill bit is small enough for them.

The description is technically correct

What's not said, but expected, is that it stabilizes the bridge against what you do it. It kinda does - sorta. It's a push spring that works in conjunction with the springs that pull to counter string tension. Stabilizing double stops? Nope. Break a string? It goes out of tune just like before. There's nothing interacting with the block itself. No magnets to tie the spring into… read more the bridge to pull it to zero. So there's nothing pulling it back to zero when tension is decreasing. Resting your hand on the bridge? It might push back against that IF you set it up perfectly. Spring tension is key to this thing. It's adjustable and you'll have to adjust it. To truly get it right, you'll want 2 of them. Yes, the stock springs will still fit but you better park sure you mount these things perfectly. For what I want, these won't do and I won't buy any more. As an aside, you can still do intentional bar flutters. Just make sure the ball tip is only lightly contacting the block and don't use the felt pads.

Worthless Application

This product doesn't improve anything. It basically just replaces a spring. There really is no point to this. It doesn't stop detuning on double stop bends, it doesn't hold tuning close enough if a string breaks and it makes the trem feels different and not as smooth... too touchy on the trem down and not as smooth coming back to rest on the ball bearing. Don't waste your money.… read more It just doesn't stabilized tuning any better than just using springs and the setup is still the same. So it's still as difficult and you don't get any additional features. I'll be replacing with a Tremol-No soon.
