FEATURES

 

 

 

Built to Last
 

Each Stetsbar is machined to exacting standards in the USA. The close tolerances and finishing processes ensure a smooth and precise action.

Range and Motion
 

Many vibratos offer only a limited range and down motion. The Stetsbar, gives you a wide range of pitch in both directions so you can better tailor your performance to your personal style. A "slide sound" can even be obtained without a slide. It's that smooth.


Floating Bridge
 

The Tune-o-Matic floating bridge moves with the strings. This innovative feature minimizes string fatigue and bridge wear. The entire bridge assembly floats on micro-bearings for the smoothest and most reliable vibrato action available. Most importantly, once your guitar is tuned and set correctly, the vibrato will hold that intonation - even after the most extreme action.

Surface Mount Retro-fit
 

Installing the retrofit versions of the Stetsbar is easy and requires no modification to your guitar. The Stop Tail version uses the familiar “Gibson-style" mounts of your guitars' stop-tail piece and you won't need special mounting tools.

The Telecaster version fits directly to the existing screw holes of the "ashtray" bridge. A neck shim does have to be fitted so it is a slightly more involved fit than the Stop Tail version.

The OEM version for guitar builders does require skill and experience to mount.
