Description
Elevate your guitar's performance with the GFS Xtrem Floating Tailpiece Vibrato, a modern marvel inspired by classic designs. This innovative tailpiece provides effortless string changes and superior tuning stability, thanks to its clever engineering. Forget the hassle of traditional axles; the Xtrem's unique hinge design ensures seamless string retention via a solid aluminum tone block.

Its robust construction includes heavy-duty triple chromium plating, ensuring durability and a stunning aesthetic appeal. The Xtrem is easy to install—mount it at the base of your guitar with the included chrome screws, or opt for a non-invasive setup using just a washer under your strap pin. With a thoughtful design that avoids drilling on your guitar's top surface, it even includes a felt pad to protect your instrument's finish.
Whether you're playing smooth jazz licks or rocking out with powerful riffs, the GFS Xtrem Floating Tailpiece Vibrato is your key to unlocking the full expressive potential of your guitar.

Works great on my guitar.
I replaced the stock tailpiece on my Höfner Ignition guitar with this vibrato tailpiece. It not only works as good as those higher priced Bigsby tailpieces but it also looks better than the Bigsby vibrato. A unique thing I have noticed about it compared to a Bigsby unit is that it doesn't use pins to retain the strings with their ball ends. It has the strings retained by a large tone block instead. Due to this restringing it is way easier than restringing a Bigsby unit.
