Standout Features of the Hot Rod Series

Unlike standard tremolo bridges, this instrument includes a stock Fat Brass Block for greater sustain and resonance, paired with stainless steel screws for maximum strength. Reliable tuning is maintained even during intense vibrato work, and individually locking saddles allow for precise intonation adjustments and string security.

Core Construction — Materials That Matter

Locking & Adjustment for Precision

• Double-Locking System: secures bridge and nut for consistent tuning stability
• Adjustments are simple thanks to individually locking saddles, letting you fine-tune each string's intonation and action to your preference.
