A simple review in many ways, but also referring you to the original review I completed a while back for the Halon tremolo compatible with the Fender Stratocaster. An exceptionally well made product that will last you a lifetime of playing. Nothing to do with 60 cycle hum or indeed Keeley verb o trem.
In this review I discuss the differences between an old style vintage bridge and the Halon tremolo. You will learn that the saddles and raw vintage springs among other things play an important role in the overall tone of this guitar and changing out the older standard unit in my case is not a guestimate of the results - I know exactly how this will sound with those Titanium saddles fitted.
This unit under review was bought and paid for from Halon guitar parts and this is NOT a paid for review - it was bought by me personally - an ordinary user of this unit. It's a totally genuine review of what I bought and I show exactly what you get with this tremolo and its main benefits. As an ordinary user my experience with this tremolo is probably similar to how it might work for you too!
