Narrow 2 1/16" (modern) string spacing.
Fits Strat Style Guitars with 6 Point Bridges*.
(*Also fits 2 point bridge guitars with some drilling)
The Rail Tail Tremolo is a full contact, dive-only tremolo designed to retrofit
your existing Strat®-style 6-point tremolo with no modifications to your guitar;
a clever design merging the feel and reliability of a hardtail bridge with the
flexibility of a tremolo system. Computer designed and precision-machined, the
Rail Tail achieves maximum performance and stunning appearance without
compromising comfort or feel. Its unique features allow for adjustability to fit
a variety of guitar bodies and for an easy DIY installation.
Unlike the original tremolo design that rocks on a bevel located under the screw
heads, the Rail Tail tremolo plate rotates around a precision rail that is
mounted directly to the guitar body. The plate cradles the entire rail with
precision as if they were one unit improving sound quality and tuning stability.
This union also creates a greater breakpoint allowing open strings to maintain
pitch when bending another, much like a hardtail.
The tremolo plate consists of slotted string block mounting holes not only for
accommodating installation but also allowing the string block to be positioned
forward for greater rotational range. This means diving up to 15 degrees more
than conventional tremolo bridges. An advanced string block also consists of
game-changing features: Mid-positioned tapered string holes assist in true
string saddle contact. Working in alliance with the rail and string block are
the roller fitted string saddles. This entire assembly provides ultimate
vibrational energy transfer from the strings to the guitar body resulting in
better overall sustain and tonal qualities.
Available in narrow (modern, 2-1/16") and wide (vintage, (2-7/32") models in
Chrome, Black, Gold, Nickel and Black Nickel finishes. Please note: The Rail
mounting holes are universal meaning that a narrow spaced Rail Tail will fit
onto a wide spaced guitar body and vice versa.
(For optimum performance, playing experience and reliability, it’s highly
recommend that the guitar this unit is being installed on, is equipped with
locking tuners and a quality nut.)
