I have had very good luck with the Guyker stuff . Also, guitar fetish has a bigsby alternative that doesn’t require permanent modification, actually works , and looks better imo . I put it on a SG modern . I did use a Stew-Mac roller bridge and I have a string butler up top . It holds tune . IMO , it’s one of the best looking SG I have ever seen
Nice man, I've never seen a Paul tren like that before. I love a hardtail. After seeing this I wanna try it, but my gut tells me it'll be swapped for the hardtail eventually. Thanks Brad!
Guyker has one that has an arm like a Bigsby. I put one on a LP Special with a roller bridge. Subtle but nice. These seem to be made for the light tremolo effect. Which is the reality of trem systems. You will have some real tuning issue with any of the deep diving stuff. A roller bridge is a must.
It fits great, it looks beautiful, works great for a couple of day but let's not forget that it bends due to string pull over time. I gone through 3 of those. If it was made of thicker metal in the base probably will work great in a long run
These types of trems need either a) a rocker bridge. ... or b) a roller bridge. When you leave your regular bridge on, it either a) flosses the string saddles and eventually breaks your string .... and b) makes the tune-o-matic bridge wobble back and forth, eventually breaking the bridge, and widening the holes where the poles go.
Did all of that roller bridge locking tuners. There is no way in hell this thing stays anywhere near in tune!!! Oh it's alot of fun don't get me wrong. But completely useless.
Thats super cool. I've had great results with guyker stuff. I'm a huge fan actually :) My stewmac kit les paul, I put a 20$ roller bridge on it, this trem would be a nice option. So after you buzzed around with that trem, how did the guitar stay in tune? no issues?
LP looking so sexy, reminds me of when mine was new, before I learned how NOT to take care of nitro. . . and how NOT to put the headstock into a ceiling fan. . .
@badbrad really well good for you cause it's was a complete waste of $ for me. Between tremolo $70 roller bridge $25 and locking tuners $40 i should have bought beer!
Dude...tremolo or not, that is by far, the coolest Les Paul I've ever seen.
Thanks bro!
Congrats on the 7k !
Thank you so much 😀
WHOA,,,awesome! never seen one before. It has that vintage dental tool look! Great playing!
Thank you!!
sweet riffs on the intro. that guitar is so sick.
Thanks Max!!!
I ordered the bundle after asked you the question in gold for my SG getting the roller bridge and tremolo ,hope everything lines up
It should fit right on. Thanks bro!
Nice playing!
Thanks a lot!

The guyker stuff is very well made.

Right on!

I don’t have any long term experience with these.
Like that old Rockinger Les Trem you stuck on your black Custom.. It was 83.
You know bro!!!
This is what I came to the comments looking for. It's surprisingly similar.

Buen video.

Not a bad Duesenberg Les Trem alternative!
Yeah and very affordable...
You should have a wore a codpiece while you were installing the tremolo. You're still experimenting with camera angles I'm sure.
ha ha I couldn't find my cod piece....

Is it flaming?

Once the strings were stretched out it stayed in tune great.
Does it raise the action?
No...
Very cool, seems like a way better system than a Bigsby, I hate those. Tuning seems to be pretty stable?
It worked good for me. For the Bigsby type stuff. Order the roller bridge with it.
Can you you order as a complete set roller bridge and tremolo or separately?
Put that on one of my SG s
Yeah it should work fine for that!
does it fit in the case ok?
I have not tried that.

Oh man!
@@badbrad Clean with nothing but Naphtha!
removable bar?
Yeah you can take the bar off....
Put roller nuts and bridge
BadBrad hits 7k!!!!
Good job, man, it’s a grind, keep it up!!!
These things increase exponentially over time, it will pay off, brother!
🫡
Thank you much!!!! Salute!
What’s up Bro?
Just demoing and installing a trem bridge for Stop Tailpieces....
Oh no, wouldn’t think of putting one of those on any of my LP. Looks 🤮. I bet you would need to tune about 3 times during each song.
I didn't have to tune once doing the demo....
Why are guitar players such Luddites? I have always wondered this .
@@juanvaldez5422
DUDE……its in their DNA
The "appeal to purity" aka "no true Scotsman" logical fallacy.
Sorry big waste of money no matter what you do it is out of tune. Bridge, tuners, oil. Nothing works
I didn’t have that experience with mine.
