It’s done! The first bridge is completed! I will have more input by the weekend, but until then: here are a few pictures.
I put it on an old guitar of mine in place of a Floyd Rose trem. The weight reduction was massive! It seems to sound very well. I will prepare some sound samples eventually.
Weight before: about 600 grams for bridge and tuners.
Weight after: about 140 grams…
Beautiful, Ola!
Very elegant and contemporary. Your choice of matte finish complements the design aesthetically.
Bravo!
Looking forward to video/soundclips…

I want one. Where can I get it? martphyl@gmail
Hey, this bridge looks great – had a few questions… do you sell it? I wouldn’t mind plopping one on a guitar in the near future. I also wanted to know about the route patter needed… is it simple like some headless bridges and able to just hang off the back/sit on the top? Or does it fit more like a strat / floyd rose bridge with springs and a claw?
Hi Jon,
yes I do sell them (although am sold out at this time, July 2009). Please see the cast-away strat conversion posts from April 2009 (http://guitarworks.thestrandbergs.com/2009/04/) for examples on how to mount. It is very similar to a Floyd-Rose.
All the best,
Ola
I`d really love to have one or two of these, are they still available ?
Hi Thomas, no, there have been a few generations of development after this tremolo. Check out the galleries for pictures of the one in production.
