Vega-Trem VT1 Special 2-Point Glossy
The Vega-Trem VT1 Special 2-Point Glossy is a modern tremolo for Strat-style guitars with a 2-point vibrato system. It is a direct upgrade that fits the original cavity without drilling or routing and makes use of the existing posts. Its brass block and bright finish provide a smooth, stable and precise vibrato, ideal both for high-end instruments and for enhancing mid-range guitars.
- Direct upgrade with no modifications.
- Superior tuning stability thanks to improved friction control.
- Warm, musical tone from the brass block.
- Non-threaded arm with immediate response and no looseness.
Authentic Stratocaster feel, modern stability
The VT1 Special 2-Point retains the classic feel of a modern Fender Stratocaster bridge, sitting very close to the top and offering a natural anchor point for the picking hand.
It delivers superior tuning stability and smoother vibrato action thanks to the two fulcrum posts and dedicated spring tension. The brass block provides a warmer and rounder tone while maintaining the essential Strat character.

FAQ – Setup recommendations
Which spring set should I use?
Lighter string gauges (such as 009–042 or 010–046) usually work well with low or medium tension springs. Heavier gauges may require firmer springs to maintain balance and tuning stability.
How should I set the claw and bridge height?
Adjust the spring claw until the bridge sits at the desired angle (usually close to the top) and make sure it consistently returns to pitch. Then set action and saddle height to taste.
How can I maximise tuning stability?
Check pivot seating, saddle alignment and proper string installation. A well-cut nut and the correct spring tension help maintain tuning even under intensive vibrato use.
Is it compatible with any 2-point Strat-style guitar?
The system is designed for ST-style guitars with a 2-point vibrato. If your guitar uses a six-screw vibrato, it is best to use the Vega-Trem model designed for six-screw bridges.
