Thanks Mik, i think you've hit the nail on the head here the combination of this bridge, roller saddles and locking tuners i think is the way to avoid tuning issues. I'm looking at getting one of these for my own custom guitar and would like to avoid rotting for a FR so this looks perfect. Awesome guitar to btw.
I put a les trem on one of my les pauls. It's a tribute and it had a hard time staying in tune before the les trem. Was even worse with it, which i expected, but that was the kick in the ass i needed to set it up properly. I got a decent roller bridge off amazon, and a graphite nut. I tried to work with what gibson had on there originally, but it was no use. Once i got the graphite nut on there and cut it properly, it stays in tune much, much better. I don't even use locking tuners, but I might pick some up just so I can dive bomb like you are!
Can You link the roller bridge? Is that low profile. I have flat top Jazzmaster and after Les Trem installation I realized that it does not stay in tune. I bought roller bridge but apparently most of roller bridges are too tall for Les Trem for flat top guitar. When I maximally lowered roller bridge action still was way too high(2mm on 12th fret). On the normal bridge I was able to adjust 1.5 mm with possibility to go lower. Did You have similar issue? I am looking for low profile roller bridge. Thx, nice presentation
I would say it's better than a fender type Trem. The tuning stability is great and if you don't like it you can take it off and put the original bridge back on.
I have one, I had to buy so much shit for it to stay in-tune like a string Butler to keep DGB in tune with high bends and tuneOmatic roller saddle for a bigsby cause the saddles were not round and string break angle felt to steep to run the stock saddle , A nut filed perfectly for tremelo and the less trim itself and nut paste... $200 Upgrades plus $50 for a tech to adjust my new nut and relief and action so wasn't worth it on a $400 Epiphone Les Paul pro even though it's smooth now, I'd much rather buy a guitar with it all set up or stick to a good set up floating strat/floyd tremelo which has a better pitch range..
I put a Duesenberg Les Trem II on an Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy. I like it, but I'm trying to figure out a way to take a little off of the spring so that the arm sits a bit lower. Yes, I know the arm angle is adjustable, but it still sits too high for me when it's adjusted to be level or parallel with the guitar's top, and I don't want to adjust it so that it tilts downward. I've searched and cannot find a spring with the same specs but shorter, so I'm thinking about grinding off a bit of it. I wonder if anyone else has attempted this?
Finally, the first review with metal and trying harmonics too.
I'm not a guitarist but even I understood this. Well done, Mik. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content!

Sweet. This answers my question about whether this sucker stays in tune or not before I invest and install!! Thanks much man!!
Man i was wanting for this kind of review using a duesenberg to do dive bombs
Thank you, sir. I’ll be ordering one soon for my Gibson Firebird
The video I've been looking for on this trem. Thanks man!
Thanks 😁

Could be a neck adjustment?
Wow, nice guitar. love this one.
great demo, I love those dives :D
Does it work on an Epiphone sg standard? Also can it do intense whammy bar tricks like divebombs etc?
Yes it would work on a epiphone SG. In the video I dive bomb. You should add a roller saddle and locking tuners to make it the best it can be.
@@mikcrone Alright sweet thanks for the tips
How does it compare to fender‘s type tremolo? Would you please do more demos of it with distortion?
I would say it's better than a fender type Trem. The tuning stability is great and if you don't like it you can take it off and put the original bridge back on.

@@DRv88293 wow. Sorry to hear about that. I have no issues with mine as you can see in the video it stays in tune.
It's much better than bigsby, and the price is good.
Hey Mik did you do something with the nut and is it possible to mute ordamp the strings with your palm Thank you one of the best reviews of this term
Hi, no I kept the nut the same. Yes you can palm mute and you can change the height and length of the arm to fit your playing.
THANK YOU@@mikcrone
So sick! I love it!

You can get a Göldo(Goeldo) short spring, it's the mother company to Duesenberg.
Thanks man I love it 🎉
Does it fit inside a fitted hard case?
Not sure, you can take the arm out though
@@mikcrone Thanks.
Hello, Are you still use it?
No tune problem?
Yes I am, just played it today. No problem
@@mikcrone thx
Seems to be quite high up, how does it fit in the case? Thx
You can adjust the height of the arm.
Yeah that’s what I want to know 👍
Dimebag squeal. That's the only way to know for sure.
Me too
Does it break the string easily?
No, not at all. The roller bridge I bought helps though.
does it make your guitar lose sustain?
No not at all
