Vibramate String Spoiler For Bigsby Vibratos, Stainless Steel

This is a great addition for any Bigsby vibrato-equipped guitar. If you want to change strings on *any* trem-equipped guitar, it’s much faster to change one string at-a-time so you’re not trying to rebalance the whole bridge as you tune up. But if you want to clean the fingerboard, they all need to come off. Bigsby are particularly difficult because the ball end of the string must be placed on a pin on the back side of the trem. It’s no problem to change one string, but keeping all the ball ends on at the same time is frustrating.This is where the Stringmate excels! This little metal bracket wraps around the trem roller and hooks onto the pins. You hook the ball ends into slots that are now in the top of the bridge. Easy and quick to string up, and completely removeable should you want to revert. No permanent changes, if you want to revert.The Stringmate is beautifully made and finished. It does cover up some of the Bigsby logo on my tailpiece (Reverend Greg Koch Gristle 90, which is a great guitar). I’m surprised they didn’t make this out of aluminum, but the steel works well. If you used D’Addarios, you’ll see the colored ball ends which I don’t like, but that’s not a dealbreaker.

Anybody with a Bigsby equipped guitar knows what a pain it can be to restring your guitar. The Vibramate String Spoiler is simply a brilliant solution. I have a Guild Jet 90 and after the simple installation of this, I litereally changed my strings in just a few minutes. No frustrating "hold the ball end on the pin" nonsense. Whoever invented this should win a design award ... in all seriousness. Tone of my guitar was not changed at all, and the Bigsby actually stays in tune much, much better. Just get one ... You wont be sorry.

Now I can finally have a Les Paul Bigsby that isn’t a pain in the rear to change the strings on! It works like a charm! It’s worth every penny, totally get it!

Makes changing strings much easier.

The Vibramate String Spoiler is a must-have accessory for Gretsch owners who use Bigsby vibratos (or any guitar with a Bigsby). Installation is easy, and it effectively eliminates string slippage during vibrato use, improving tuning stability. The sleek design blends seamlessly with the guitar's aesthetics, and the high-quality materials feel durable. The Spoiler enhances playability and allows for smoother vibrato techniques. While adjustments to string spacing and height may be required, the included instructions provide clear guidance. Highly recommended for guitar owners who want to elevate their Bigsby vibrato experience.

I have three guitars with Bigsby trems. Ordering two more tomorrow. Fantastic product.
