Introduction: Vega Trem and Your Guitar
The Vega Trem, an innovative tremolo system that offers newly improved features, can amp up your guitar-playing game. Unlike traditional systems, the Vega Trem provides a full range of pitch, from Up and Down pull, without altering the sustain or the tone. No fret out, and no need for modifications, it’s a complete plug and play system. Technologies come and go, but the Vega Trem guarantees a significant enhancement to your guitar, ensuring better sound and increased flexibility. Ready to revolutionize your playing style? Here’s your step-by-step guide on how to install the Vega Trem.
What You Will Need
Before diving into the installation, gather all necessary tools and materials. You will need the Vega Trem VT1 ultra tremolo, a Phillips screwdriver, a set of Allen wrenches, a string cutter, and a new set of strings. Preparation is key to a seamless and successful Vega Trem installation.
Securing Your Guitar
First, ensure your guitar is secure. It should be resting on a flat surface with the back exposed. Never attempt to install your Vega Trem on an unstable or rounded surface to avoid damaging your instrument. You might find it helpful to have a neck rest or a padded workbench but if these are not available, a rolled towel or foam can substitute for added support.
Removing The Strings And Original Bridge
Next, using your string cutter, clip your old strings and remove them. Once all strings are detached, use your Phillips screwdriver to take out the original bridge. When removing, ensure you keep the screw as you’ll need it during the new installation.
Positioning The Vega Trem
Now that the old bridge is out of the way, it’s time to install your Vega Trem. Gently position your Vega Trem VT1 into the cavity previously occupied by the old bridge. Using the screw you reserved from the original bridge, fix the Vega Trem into place. Your Allen wrench will help you adjust the action. Up for action increase and down to decrease.
Stringing Your Guitar
Align each string to its respective saddle and tighten the locking screw (not a height screw) to hold them into place. As you string, ensure it is properly aligned in the groove of the tuning machine, through to the nut, and finally at the bridge.
Tuning Your Guitar
With the Vega Trem now installed and the strings in place, it’s time to tune your guitar. Play each string and use your tuning machines to adjust the tension to reach your desired pitch. Once tuning is achieved, we recommend stretching your strings and retuning a couple of times until stable tuning is reached.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can you install a Vega Trem VT1 on an instrument other than a guitar?
The Vega Trem VT1 ultra tremolo system is designed specifically for guitars and is not advisable for other instruments.
2. What are the benefits of installing a Vega Trem?
Its design allows you to have a wider range of pitch bending, both up and down pulling, without altering the sustain or the tone. With the Vega Trem, players will not experience any fret out. They can bend all the strings as if the guitar had a scalloped fingerboard.
3. Do I have to maintain or lubricate my Vega Trem system regularly?
Unlike other tremolo systems, the Vega Trem is practically maintenance-free. Every single metal part in contact with another one is hard chrome-plated, the best anti-friction plating, offering the musicians a never-seen-before performance and long-lasting experience.
4. My Vega Trem tuning is unstable. What should I do?
Ensure your strings are stretched correctly, and the grooves at the nut are wide enough not to retain the string when using the tremolo. If the problem persists, get help from an experienced luthier.
5. Can I install a Vega Trem on a non-floating bridge guitar?
Yes, definitely. The Vega Trem is compatible with any type of guitar as its installation does not require making any modifications.
Conclusion
With the Vega Trem installed, you’re on your way to a revolutionary sound and guitar playing experience. This cutting-edge technology not only enhances sustain and tones but also ensures your guitar remains perfectly in tune.
