Schaller Vintage Tremolo: with Block Style KTS PR-18 saddles

The Schaller Vintage Tremolo fills a crucial gap in the market for guitarists and luthier: It combines the visual and sonic characteristics of a classic Fender* Stratocaster*-style tremolo with a modern, tuning-stable two-point knife-edge suspension in the original Floyd Rose* style.

The advantages at a glance:

Advantages of titanium saddles

• Titanium - very light, durable, resistant to corrosion and chemical agents, and with a very sweet yet detailed, highly musical tone
• Expect longer sustain, clearer note separation, improved string-to-string definition and touch sensitivity, more stable tuning and zero corrosion.
• Titanium saddles provide the brightest tone, with the most response and clarity.
• The low internal damping factor of Titanium, in combination with string vibration, results in improved response and dynamic touch sensitivity.
• The synergetic effect of Titanium`s pure and natural tone provides ultra-clear note separation, and even makes chords sound more defined and full.
• Our Titanium saddles do not alter the tonal characteristics - instead they bring out the player`s nuances by more clearly defining and transmitting the dynamics of string vibration and wood resonation.

The baseplate of hardened steel and the solid spring block of the Schaller Vintage Tremolo ensures an outstanding sustain. The titanium saddles fix the strings in their optimum position.

Tremolo mounting is done with special mounting studs and threaded metric inserts. These are provided with a fine thread. Optionally, we also offer height adjustable wood screws for direct mounting into the wooden body. In this case, the insert is not required.
