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.

Split Action
 

The latest Pro II development splits the pitch movement of the Stetsbar into seperate up and down actions. This enables the Stetsbar to handle string breaks without detuning, support alternative drop tunings and manage higher string guages.

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.
