You didn't mention the spring. The spring coils are spaced much farther apart which gives you more space to dive the bar, or note, before the spring will bottom out. I will be purchasing one today. The added break angle, the hardtail/ trem PER STRING option is way cool, the heavier gauge materials, trem bar settings, material options are all great selling points. BIG THANKS for the demo! You answered my questions.
That new vibrato is good, you can choose which strings vibrate, while the others remain fixed. I see that the saddles on the bridge are brass, my favorite material, I'm thinking of installing on my Jazmaster. I know saddles on brass have more resonance, how much they changed the tone in this case. Does it get sharper, or creamier?I wouldn't want to lose that glassy jazzmaster tone. Only in that case I will use the brass saddles from the telecaster - they are the same size, and drill new screw holes. That Halon is damn expensive, almost half the guitar, in my case the whole guitar, because I have a copy of the HB jazzmaster. It's important to experiment and mess around, isn't it.
I would say that you don't loose much treble while using brass saddles, it gets a little more "round". I had that bridge in my Jazzmaster, I have video on that matter also (there is an A to B comparison there). Yes, it's expensive, but the used materials and attention on detail costs, also it's a unique design. I will try the mixed fixed/vibrato or aka G bender in another video.

Okay WOW the ability to switch to hardtail is very interesting.
You didn’t fully insert the squire arm. Press it all the way it won’t move.
I would like to buy one like it
Do you have a coupon to indicate the purchase?
Right now you can pre-order it here: halonguitarparts.com/product/vibrato-patented/
"Tailpieces"- NOT "bridges".
Yes, that's the word I forgot about ;D
