tomteriffic Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I'm considering a "Les Trem" kind of thing for one of my Stop/Tuna guitars and the Doozy looks good to me. I can't seem to find a stocking mail-order type dealer in the US. Anyone know where to get them other than from Chermany?
SSII x 2 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Can't help ya there. Have you considered a Stetsbar? I've got an SG that's screaming for one...
tomteriffic Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 I hadn't, really. I just think the Doozy is sleek, simple and perfect for just a little wiggle, which is all I want. And the adjustable arm is a big plus.
tomteriffic Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 I'll be dipped. They were showing as not available a few days ago. No US source, though, huh?
Jakeboy Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I ordered mine from Germany off Reverb and I had it within a week and shipping was reasonable....like $15....great vibrato bar alternative to a Bigsby.
hanspanzer Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Great trems btw. I have both the Les Trem and Radiator Tremola.

Jakeboy Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I use mine VERY hard on my Artist and it stays in tune wonderfully...and that without locking tuners which I find are essential to keeping tuning issues at bay with most vibrato systems. How far down you can go depends on how far up you set the angle of the bar. I had mine set so that I could go almost as low as my Strat...but then decided I preferred it to be not as extreme and changed it so I can get a nice wham going....maybe more than my Bigsby...but again, it all depends upon how you set the bar angle. Great piece of kit!
