"VINTAGE ONE 2" - ZAMAC - Nickel, aged

"VINTAGE ONE 2" ZAMAC

Nearly identical to our „ONE“ Tune-O-Matic bridge but with an additional locking feature and usually equipped with our special coated V-Saddles, this bridge represents the ultimate solution by using a Tune-O-Matic bridge in combination with a Bigsby® Vibrato. Tone and tuning stability on the highest-level.

While the conical 2-hole nuts are holding the bridge in place and prevents it from wobbling around, the special coated and deep notched V-Saddles are guaranteeing a smooth back and forth gliding of the strings.

The V-Saddles are coated with an extra hardened electroless Nickel layer, which has comparable lubrication and hardness properties like hard chrome, but with significant better layer characteristics inside the notch itself. For an ultimate experience and durability, you can furthermore choose an extra DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) layer on top, wich provides the most advanced technology in terms of hardness and long-term lubrication available.

Even though the „ONE 2“ is initially designed for the usage with tremolo (vibrato) systems, you can use this bridge with a stoptail as well and benefit from its additional performance, tone and tuning stability.
