If you're like me and want a non-Floyd, vintage style trem that sounds strong and works without a hitch:

Super Vee Bladerunner

Does this stay in tune like a floyd?

[Ted B]

It does, amazingly well.

See it demonstrated on Youtube.

Looks pretty cool as I do hate messing with Floyds but love that you can lay on them and they stay in tune.....are you using the bladerunner or the super and I'm guessing both require the mag lock.

Did you purchase the Complete Super-Vee Kit $349.95 snf what mounting did you get 2 post or or 6 screws?

I bought the Super Vee Bladerunner, which is like a vintage strat bridge, although it works much better due to its innovative design, and doesn't go out of tune. It's a universal mount, which matches both 6-screw vintage (what I have) and modern two post mounts. It has quite a bit of mass, so it sounds much better than cheap, pot metal Asian made bridges.

It's only $149:

I use a fender 6 screw vintage trem, gig with it, record etc... The best setup guide is on fender.com and it works and sounds really good ...especially with the fender xl150
