Musiclily Pro BV002 52.5mm 2-Point Style Guitar Tremolo Bridge Chrome

I'm a huge fan of musiclily parts and this one did not disappoint! I love the brightness and resonance of saddles and base. The block is thick but fit perfectly inside my Micheal Kelly guitar. String spacing is always a tossup with these things put this one was perfect and alignment is great! The finish is perfect for the color theme I was going for and seems like it will hold up for a long time! The dowels that are included are quite large! I needed to well out my holes quite a bit to begin to beat these guys in so, be prepared to modify your instrument just in case. Once I got the dowels seated though, it was all cake from there. Very nicely machined materials. Holds tune great as well! Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

This is a quality piece! Looks like it could have cost twice as much. This was my first time installing a 2 point bridge in a new body. My only caution for potential buyers is that it does not come with detailed installation instructions or a drilling template. That may be true of all the other brands too. Just know that the install takes some skills and experience, and probably a drill press, to get the studs located correctly and the holes drilled cleanly and accurately. You only get one chance. Be prepared to measure 10 times and drill once! This doesn't apply to a retrofit where you already have studs or at least stud holes. The supplied springs seem pretty stiff. I only used two and still had to back the claw screws out pretty far. The little bag of extra screws was a nice bonus, especially the saddle height screws. Once you get the guitar set up you can install the screws that protrude least above the saddles. Update: Just installed another one of these on a custom Ibanez-ish guitar. The customer is a veteran musician and a dear friend with a basically unlimited budget. I stressed over lots of details on this build, but never worried about using this bridge.

UPDATE: There is a hex screw that you can tighten to hold the tremolo arm in (see images). You can also use it to adjust how loose or tight the arm moves. While this is a good feature, I would still prefer it to be a snap-in tremolo arm and the hex screw is not the fastest option to attach the arm. Imagine if you lose the hex wrench right before you go on stage. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The bridge in general is great. The chrome on black looks very nice and sleek on my guitar and it seem to have brighten up my tone and improved sustain a bit. I got it to replace the one on my Squier Affinity Jazzmaster. After confirming all of the measurements, replacing was super easy with no modification needed. The steel block feels very sturdy and solid though it added some weight to my guitar. I do notice some improvement in tone and sustain so a bit of weight increase wasn’t too big of a deal. My only complaint about this is that it seems like they included the wrong tremolo arm with the bridge. The included arm was not threaded which I was excited at first because I prefer it over threaded ones. When I place it in the bridge, it didn’t snap in like I was expecting it to. Instead it was dangling there and if you move the guitar a certain way, the tremolo arm just fell right off. Fortunately the threaded tremolo arm that was on my old bridge seem to fit quite snug in the bridge (which is ideal since I didn’t want the arm to be swinging all over the place). This leads me to believe that the bridge has threaded insert for the tremolo arm and the manufacturer simply included the wrong type in the package. While I was disappointed that I don’t have a black tremolo arm to complete the look, at least my old one (seen in pictures) still fits.

i had a couple partscaster Strats that were giving me trouble intonating and staying in tune, figuring it was just my lack of experience and craftsmanship. they had pretty cheap bridges on them but i didnt really think that would be the issue. thought these looked nice and would be worth trying something different, and it really did the trick on both. biggest thing with this bridge is the giant holes needed to screw in those big dowel things. the first one i used luckily already had threaded brass holes in the exact spots needed, so that was just a matter of finding the right sized screw. the second one required new holes drilled, and it is not super easy to eyeball it and make it fit with an oddball-sized pickguard, but it too worked! they look great, feel very stable and overall i'm just very pleased this solved 90% of my tuning stability issues.

This bridge looks good and is solid I've had installed for a fews months but it has 2 flaws. One of which is going to make me change the bridge. I purchased this bridge for the larger block the looks and most importantly the pop in trem arm. Problem I have is the piece to pop the trem arm into is separate from the block. And it comes loose which basically gives you the same slop when pressing down on the trem arm as the original screw in one did. Hey the socket for this is able to be tightened or moved is beyond me but here we are. You can tighten it back up but give it a slight touch and you're right back loose. 2 the springs are extremely tight. I usually run 3 on a strat this one I took one out and just have 2 and their still to tight. It's a good bridge don't get me wrong but these 2 flaws kill it for me I'm going to change it.

Was very easy to install although the 2 pivot screws were larger than what is already installed on my Donner strat so I used the originals. Great fit. Built well and intonation was as easy as can be and stay in tune. Used it as a floater bridge. Highly recommend.

I had two major issues. First, the time delivered was visibly used. The block and arm was scratched up. Second, the design of the tremolo arm is NOT the Fender style pop in. That uses a combination of set screws, a plastic collar, and a spring. This tremolo arm holding mechanism is literally just a screw that you tighten. The result is that the screw digs in and creates a score as you use it which makes the arm loose. So you tighten it more which only makes the score deeper and all the while you're ruining the whammy bar. This is especially frustrating as the whole reason I purchased this bridge was to get away from the wobbly trem arm I had with a screw in style. The especially frustrating part is other than the crappy trem arm design this is a great bridge! The block is nice and chunky. The saddles are easy to adjust and intonate. I feel like it adds sustain and makes everything more substantial. If only they did something more sensible with the trem arm! If you deck your trem and don't use vibrato, get this. Otherwise stay away.

This is a great bridge, two point Fulcrum that will not fall apart like most do! This is a floating bridge and the trem bar can be customized to a trem that won’t strip out. It can be threaded to fit a nut on the lower end. Most cheap made bridges are built with a soft metal and strip on the inside of bridge. This unit uses nothing on the lower end and can be modified with a nut and a nylon washer that will not let the nut tighten too tight. Works great for me for continued use of trem! Works and feels like a Floyd Rose, but without locking Nut and fine tuners! That’s why they call it a floating bridge! Geno

Sterling by MUSIC MAN JPシリーズに搭載されている物とほぼ同じです。 違うのは弦ピッチ幅で、JPシリーズは10.8mmがほとんどですが、これは10.5mmです。 公式ページで「Modern Tremolo」と記載されているJP50、60、100、150辺りはこれで、ポン付けできます。 もし弦落ちしやすい個体に出会ったらこれを付けるとだいぶ改善されます。 自分は100に付けましたが、とても良い感触です。 重量等もほぼ同じなので、OEMなのだと思います。 ただ、トッププレートは黒やゴールドですが、ブリッジサドルはすべてシルバーしかないので、こだわる人は別途サドルだけ購入する必要があります。 Musiclily Proの製品で失敗した事はないのでおすすめできます。

Es un puente terriblemente malo. Imposible que vuelva al lugar tras usar la palanca. Además, aunque ajustes el tornillo donde se ancla la palanca, en seguida cede y todo el bloque de la palanca baila. Terrible.

Ordered yesterday,arrived today Amazon always amaze me.Anything I buy from ebay takes at least 5 days to get this far north often longer.The difference is stark. Anyway this bridge/tremelo is intended for my first proper partscaster guitar and it along with the scratchplate areit so far so I can only comment on the quaity rather than fitting and use. This build is getting dear,I bought a scalloped neck from China for £105+ but that could be Xmas before I see that.Add the body which should be here thursday (thank you,Amazon lol) with the neck is a neat little £200.I want active pick ups in an HSH config,I already have a SD ahb-1 blackout to use for the bridge position so the cost of the other two either an SD and EMG or all EMG would be another £150. I had initially planned some form of Floyd Rose but I'm not a prolific user of the bar so it's a waste of money which is why I took the Musiclily option,hoping to dial back the spending but fearing the compromise in favour of shelling out less cash would mean a corresponding loss of quality of the bridge/tremolo. My MIM Player has a two point Fender trem and my MIJ Silver Series has the traditional/vintage 6 screw Fender unit.The 2 point wins hands down in every department so I went for this 2 pointer for £33 but with lowered expectations for sure. Like I said I've no review in terms of fitting and use because I don't even have a body to fit it to but as far as quality goes it genuinely is a very nicely made,quality unit.At worst it's on par with my MIM trem but I'd say probably overall it'll exceed it in performance. Highly impressed and for the money it's a beautiful bridge/tremelo.

Ponte ben fatto e con misure corrette per strato e affini standard. Il blocco è in acciaio e non in zama e con buone meccaniche autobloccanti la chitarra cambia molto in meglio

Ich muss gestehen, ich war mir bei dem Kauf anfangs nicht sicher, ob ich das richtige tue. Zumal meine Gitarre weder Schacht für die Bridge noch einen Hohlraum für die Federn hatte. Es wartete viel Arbeit auf mich und ich hätte meine 50 Jahre alte Rockinger so richtig versemmeln können. Aber nun ist alles montiert und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Kaum Verstimmungen nach dem Spielen. Und was mir besonders gefallen hat, ist, die Anzahl der verschieden langen Schrauben für die Saitenreiter. So kann vermieden werden, dass die oft scharfkantigen Schrauben , wenn sie zu lang sind, beim Spielen die Haut verletzen. Sehr gut mitgedacht!!!
