Any Vega-trem users out there? Just found out about these & am thinking of trying one on my Mirage...

This is the one I'm looking at:

The YouTube vids are interesting, to say the least, and I saw some good reviews on other forums.  Just curious if anyone here has tried one.

Y'all's thoughts?

Thanks!

I am also intrigued by this vibrato as a certain upcoming build will def need one…

Isn't that the one @cmatthes used on a few of his builds?  If it was, I recall a quite favorable opinion expressed.

Oh, Chri-is! @cmatthes

I tried one on my buddy's partscaster. Loved the expanded pitch range and the look of it. But he complained that intonation adjustment was a pain (people with Wilkinson bridges where the saddles screw down into the baseplate may be used to it) and didn't have enough adjustment range, and we agreed it sounded somewhat dead compared to other options. He ended up swapping it out. I would consider using one on a guitar where I'm trying to limit the treble and where I'm 100% sure the adjustment range will work with the mounting post placement.

 

ETA: David Torn, one of my all-time guitar heroes, seems to love them. He uses very bright Fiam/Ronin gold-foil PUs.
