Amazon Tremolo as good as a Duesenberg Les Trem II?

It's the best music community on the internet. Not even close.

UPDATE - I have removed this vibrato. Even after using a roller bridge, tuning stability was not good enough. The Duesenberg Les Trem II is a much better unit. All I can say to those on here who said it's not good? You were correct.

I put one of these on my Rickenbacker 325 clone that I built. I found that you can put a thin piece of wood (about 1/16th of an inch thick) between the base and the rocking part, so that it acts like a stop.This turns the trem into a down only, and it never goes out of tune. This is a well built tremolo.

Just fitted this to my telecaster. Absolutely brilliant. I will post a video soon on it. Mine stays in tune perfectly. I have to state mine is the cheaper Guyker from Amazon. Looks like a slide build.

Guyker's been knocking it out of the park. I'm very happy with their parts, so far

After having the deucenberg on 5 of my guitars, I decided to try the guitar that I bought on Amazon and I find it to be almost identical to the deucenberg. I have no problem and they always stay in tune again. Lubricate the nut slots and make sure your strings are not binding there.

I saw a review where I fellow bought two of these. He likes the first one so much he bought one for another guitar. The second one had a thinner spring it. It wouldn't go sharp every time you used it. So he returned it. He got one good and one bad one. You got a got one. That is what brought me to this video. thanx

From Leo: Good demonstration of the Guyker product. Good addition to the Rev Star. I have been using trems for years and mostly used BIGSBY trems that I hand adjust and polish to the best smoothness. A good roller bridge has always made them all smooth and more likely to return to tune. When you think about it, a wound string is a series of notches that prevent sliding smoothly over the saddle

[chiquiabello]

If you replace the bridge with a Duesenberg 3 point bridge, you'll get more tuning stability because it rocks back and forth with the trem

About the end of the bar unscrewing, that allows for shortening the functional length of the bar: Unscrew the tip, pass that end through the arm hole in the unit, and you have the equivalent of a cut down bar on a strat, AKA a Gilmour mod. I have two Guyker trems, I find them very useful!

[rickgledura]

I put these on 5 of my guitars the original doosenberg. I love them and if yours does not stay in tune. Lubricate the nut slots and toy with the Spring tension. And it will always stay in tune mine does.

I think you shouldn't call it "amazon", call it what it is, its a guyker trem, and tbh guyker make great budget hardware, i git their locking tuners on my baritone and they are awesome, best 20€ i ever spent

[emilramirez]

Thanks for your video... it was very useful to decide what i want to put on my Gretsch 2210 Streamliner Junior Jet Club as an alternative for a Bigsby. So based on your own update i'll go with the Duesenberg Les Trem II. God bless

Had small tuning issues with mine until I put
locking tuners on & a healthy dose of nut lube.
That fixed the problems 👍

I've used Guyker stuff in a few of my projects, always seems well machined and have a good weight to them.

I haven't tried a deusenberg but I did buy the guyker version I put it on my Epiphone studio Les Paul playet it at gig last week and had no issues with tuning I'm very happy with it I will be buying a few more of those in the near future to put on another Les Paul one of my sgs

[rickgledura]

If you want this swing arm to have a little more attention. If you look at the very top of the Spring between the wine and you'll see a small metric size nut, you can tighten that to increase the tension. You need a very thin metric size flat wrench.

That's good it works. I'll stick to Duesenberg since they invented it. I have a couple, but only using one right now.

[darlenemcmillan]

It kinda reminds me of the Bowen handle we would put on our Gibsons back in the 80's. Only your new trem operates alot better.👍👍👍

[HC_GUITAR]

I have a les trem ii, great to know this good cheaper one exists. Might get one for my les paul. ✌🏻😎

[michaelpond]

Roller bridge is really needed for tuning stabilization
