Vibramate

[LittleLeroy]

Anyone here used one?  I'm considering using one to put a B5 on my Millie Ultra Pro.  Usually this one goes on a flat top.

Here's what I use.  ( Currently fitted to a '64 Epiphone Wilshire  ) It fits my 335,Guild Bluesbird,Heritage 140,in fact anything with the standard stop bar tail piece.It works well,like a Bigsby, and leaves no marks on the guitar body. It's made by Duesenberg in Germany.

Yes - I used one to put a Bigsby on my H140. It's a very straightforward job and though there's a gap between the back of the Vibramate and the guitar top, it's a solid installation. The H140 had the Schaller roller bridge, which was partly why I decided to fit the Bigsby on it. I also bought the String Spoiler for ease of changing strings.

The great thing about this is the ease of returning the guitar to its original condition.

That's a neat solution to the whammy conundrum!

Vibramate's are excellent, just be careful the little foam pads on the bottom can eat thru nitro finishes

The pads with mine were felt, not foam.

I get one on my SG, first the short shape of the vibramate doesn't exist.

I’ve used one on a H150,  worked great.  Seemed better than LesTrem II.
