PRESS RELEASE
Stetsbar Introduces Pro II Vibrato System
October 29, 2008
Advertisement The new Stetsbar Pro II, is a unique professional vibrato with a new locking mechanism that can maintain tuning if a string is broken, while still allowing normal up and down action within the vibrato. Unlike the Stetsbar Pro II, the biggest issue with other floating vibratos is that the whole set up is balanced at the zero point against the pull of the strings so that any change in string tension — breaking a string or dramatic string bends for example — will drastically put the system out-of-true. Another major advantage of the Stetsbar Pro II, is that the complete unit, including bridge, saddles and string anchors, effortlessly glides friction free, on highly engineered micro roller bearings. Not only does this totally eliminate string drag, but the travel path operates with precision accuracy and can be locked if a string breaks — maintaining stability, accurate tuning and still operating above and below the centre of pitch. The Stetsbar PRO II retro-fit system, retains all the glories of its original unrivalled design: Since its introduction 5 years ago, Stetsbar has achieved world-wide status with Gibson players who, until then, could only install a vibrato system on their beloved instrument if they took drastic non-reversible measures with a drill or routing machine. The StetsBar Pro II is complete with full instructions as a straight forward surface mount installation on stop tail guitars, including Les Paul, SG and Flying V, a 'hard tail' mount for custom Telecasters, standard Tele mount and there's also an OEM version for custom builders. For guitars with stop-tail designs, Stetsbar simply drops onto the original bushings of the removed stop-tail — no extra holes to drill — and the guitar can be returned to stock if need be. But we think you'll agree that, finished in either gold, chrome, nickel or black, the Stetsbar Pro II, with its newly designed matching rectangular base plates, looks stunning. Ask the professionals, there's an impressive list of users. Stetsbar — the new age of vibrato. Prices. RRP. From $299.00 to $379.00  Recent Stetsbar headlines
