Features and functionality

    Source
  • The Les Trem II can be adjusted on the fly using a thumb screw for quick tweaks.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Installation may require raising and holding the unit during screwing, contrary to instructions; some users need to widen mounting holes, but this isn't always necessary.

    Source

    Source

User experience

  • Owners appreciate that no guitar modifications or special adaptors are needed for installation, making it an attractive option for those avoiding permanent alterations.

    Source
  • Some owners find the Les Trem II feels awkward and intrusive on Les Paul models, impacting playability despite aesthetic appeal.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Considerations for improved setup include roller bridges to enhance string life, and the use of graphite lubrication on nuts and saddles for better tuning stability.

    Source
  • Roller saddles are recommended to prevent high E string breakage, with options available on Amazon and Aliexpress.

    Source

Build quality

  • Reports of poor build quality include components unscrewing and the tremolo arm detaching within weeks of use.

    Source

Comparisons

  • For hassle-free installation on Les Pauls, a Bigsby with Vibramate is preferred for reliability over the Les Trem II.

Versatile and stays in tune

Replaced the original vibrato on my Mustang Vintera with this. Required some irreversible (but cunningly made invisible) mods. Outcome is a vibrato that always works and that I can set up to meet my very specific needs.
