FAQ – Setup recommendations
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 bridge, it is best to use the Vega-Trem model designed for six-screw systems.
Which springs should I use for my string gauge?
Gauges like 009–042 or 010–046 work well with low or medium tension springs. Heavier gauges may require firmer springs for proper bridge balance.
How should I adjust the claw and bridge angle?
Adjust the claw until the bridge floats at your preferred angle—typically low to the top. Ensure it returns consistently to pitch, then fine-tune action and saddles.
How can I improve tuning stability?
Check pivot seating, ensure a clean string installation, maintain a good nut and choose suitable springs. With proper setup, stability exceeds that of standard 2-point bridges.
