LarryUK Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Can you get any system to fit a Vibrola trem to an SG without drilling into the body like a Vibramate for a Bigsby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dReit1 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Have you checked out the Duesenberg Les Trem? I've heard good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) I have a few Duesenberg Les Trem II's. They are easy to install just replacing the Stopbar. Takes just a few minutes. High quality German steel, plated with chrome, nickel or gold.. The dive bar is held in place with set screws for maximum versatility, position adjustment and has more dive range than any other similar type... The first three are Les Trem II's, the fourth is a Stetsbar for replacing a wrap around bridge, the fifth one is a hard mount Duesenberg Tremola Short similar to a B5. I have owned a few of them for quite while now and have not had to replace the spring, the dive bar position adjustment will compensate for any spring degradation.. One I have had for over 4 years with only minor spring compression. My Duesenberg Les Trem II's were purchased from Rockinger in Germany ...... But you may have an easier source in your area.....

mihcmac Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I also installed a Les Trem II on my ASAT Junior No adapter needed just bolts right on and can dive almost a far as a Strat...😁 Edited November 19, 2019 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's no adapter that lets you fit a Maestro Vibrola to the SG, as the Vibrabate does for the Bigsby. Whoever figures that one out will probably make some $$$. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Vet. Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 You might consider a Setsbar Pro, either the I or II. very heavy duty designed for SG with either straight or angled bridge, Comes with a Bigsby style arm. They aint cheap, 270 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aint cheap, 270 USD StetsBar's are a little costly, but a good investment, very very smooth with a wide range of operation and versatile adjustments. Several different models, on Gibsons they are attached using only the existing bridge and stop bar mounts. There are hard mount styles as well and the only "wraparound bridge replacement style" that uses no extra screws. The StetsBar is heavily built but not quite as much metal as the Floyd Rose for Gibsons. Two screw bridge mount StetsBar replacing the wraparound bridge. One nice point about these non-destructive tremolo's is you can take them off leaving no damage..
