Thanks man The only video on KZfaq thats explain the whole system of this trem

How fortunate that the guitar is still playable, having survived the "Explosion"!!!!!

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much for this video Devil & Sons Guitars! Cheers!

Straight to the point and informative. Great video!

Thanks Man! Appreciate the time you took. Very helpful to see the workings of it.

Very useful and detailed video tutorial. Thanks a lot

Thank you a lot for the video. I have an Overlord of Music and your video was really helpful to understand how the birdge works!

Really awesome and detailed analysis of the system! Keep the great work up!!

Great tutorial, very explanative. Thanks, dude!

Great video!!! I got that same kit (from China) and the instructions that came with it made that bridge seem like the most complicated thing since the space shuttle. You made it not only easy to understand but to install & set up. It's now actually a very impressive little bit of engineering. Thank you very much.

That guitar belongs in a museum........Clear and concise explanation of the system. AWESOME!!!!

As others have said, very useful. Thanks!

Just bought a lefty spirit Pro, found this video very informative, many thanks!

Hi, I called this guitar ugly on a steinberger facebook group, but kinda regretting it... Here to set it straight! Any guitar who has had such attention is worth more than a factory produced one... In it's own steampunky way it may be a very very well tought trough piece, but I just was a little bit shocked at first by the looks, but it kinda grows on you (I visited the site and looks better in the pics then on the youtube video to me lol). I'm sorry for any owner and for the creator that I called his work ugly. I'm normally not one who disses on other peoples work... Especially when you can see it is built with passion. Just felt like I needed to set this straight ;)

I really wanted yo see the inside of how the Bridge works in detail, Thank you a lot.

Thanks a ton, exactly what I was looking for ❤

Such an informative video. Very helpful in helping me understand my Spirit tremolo. Also, this guitar is not steam punk to my eyes but spot on for a post-apocalyptic vibe. Reminds me of some mash up between HR Geiger and the Fallout franchise. Stellar work!!!

Just what I needed to know. Thanks!

great video, helped me understand a lot. Thanks

What a great and informative video! Solved all my curiosity and question about this bridge, now my Steingerger like guitar is on the way, can't wait to change the string and adjust it to my pref. Thanks a lot for this!!!

Great Video!!! Very, very helpful!! Many thanks to you!!!

Thanks Daniel. That was an absolutely great video. Inspired by other youtube channels, I bought a Cherrystone headless guitar from Amazon; the only place in UK that one can get the Steinberger kit. Whilst the overall kit is appalling, there is nothing I cannot sort out. What really worried me about the whole project was how to set the intonation with that bridge. Your video was superb at covering every question I could have had. I will begin the build after Christmas as I'm still waiting on some tools but I now feel very confident that I will be able to create a fantastic guitar with a very low action - your video was that 'missing link' I needed. Thank you very much for your time and effort and sharing your skills and knowledge. ------------------------ In case anyone reading this is interested and thinking about buying a headless kit. I have found that the routing for the two part bridge is very poor in that the general area for the chassis is routed out instead of a narrower channel with a cutout for the bridge locking mech. This means that two of the four bridge screws may not have enough wood to screw in securely leading, over time, to a catastrophic failure of the bridge fixture. I have bought a metal bracket to brace the bottom part of the chassis - I've left a comprehensive review and photos on Amazon.co.uk, under the name Leon Kowalski. I will update it once I begin my build to show images of the bracket in place too. Here is the review: bit.ly/HeadlessGuitar

So detailed! Thx so much

EXCELLENT video.

That is a really pretty guitar, sick work

this was so Fucking helpful mate, I have been looking for a video like this for a month now. thank you so much

Great lesson. Thank you.

I just bought this thank you soooo much

Thanks a lot. I have had a Steinberger Spirit for a long time, but never figured all the details out. I usually don’t use the tremolo, but it works now, and it sure is fun. The manual they come with don’t have all the information about the way to set it up.

Dude!!! I have been looking for a detailed video of this tremolo, that was amazing!!! I was having my doubts about getting one of these, thank you very much for doing it.. Now I still have a few questions, so pls bear with me: -About sound, this system it doesnt need to make more holes to the body so it has more wooden mass, and also the metal mass in the bridge looks bigger than a traditional trem, so, do u feel any sound difference/improvemenmt in the sustain or tone of the guitar based on only these characteristics? -Have u heard of the TransTrem II? from steinberger? this model had the capacity of tune the guitar in 2 additional tones, 1 semitone or tone up and down i believe, do u think that this thingy could be modified to allow the trem to lock additional tunings? by just moving a locker or something? have u thought about it? -How much room of tunning do u have left after locking all the strings? did it ever occured that u just reach the limit of the screw like in traditional floyd rose systems? -Does it always go back to the same note after using the trem? is it soft or hard to do so? - Does the trem's spring wears off? can anybody get replacements for that? - About the saddles, the original trem has little rollers, does the trem action produce any sound? weird clicks or scratches? - How did u cover the Overlod of music thing? with welding or just glue? or something like that? Man, again, Thanks for this video... u are the best I wish I could order u a special custom model from you but not sure i would be able to afford it..

thanks man very helpful

Nice one.

Thank you very much for this video. Though I have a Steinberger it is really helpful. I was quoted an exorbitant amount to set up mine up by old employees. This is easily understandable from this video I'll easily be able to reset and or amend it.

Ace video.

You educated me. Thank you.

Great explanation!!! I wanted to know inside of the tremelo n how it was set up,,,I'm putting together a charvel with same locking means,,thanks a bunch

Very good video, thank you! Saludos!

Amazing thank you!

Wow thank you!!

Very helpful

Well spoken and described. No erhms... erhms. ✔️👍

Wish I knew about those string clamps on the bridge could fall out before I lost two of them! You covered it all.

Excellent, thanks. Make sure you pull that string tight or you can run out of thread space and the bridge end. Learned the hard way.

I have one. What a perfectly wretched design for a whammy system.

Thank you soooooo very much, this is incredibly helpful in understanding the headless tremolo system that came with my headless guitar kit from bargainmusian

Some day i will buy one of these

Thx for the video. Does that trem system stay in tune good even with heavy use?

Great video! Can I ask if the tension spring being worn out would cause the whammy not to stay in tune? I mean like it goes 1/4 step or more out everytime I use it now. If so do you know where I can buy a replacement/ I have a Hohner G3T. Thanks.

Amazing. Thanks a million. I just started assembly of my first guitar kit and was terrified of the floating bridge set up. Very well explained and easy to understand. I'm also doing a steam punk design and have finished most of the body cosmetics. What is your general price range for a commissioned build like this? I've already had several people interested in buying and I have no idea what a reasonable price would be. Thanks so much for the great video. Count me in as a faithful subscriber!

awesome tutorial!! id like to ask of is your R-Trem ,it is hard to pull down? or its soft?, because i have the same trem and its reaally hard to pull down!!!, i think it may be the spring, can i change it? to a softer one or it has to be the same type?

This was a great video! any idea where to get the grub screws for the top of the headstock bit? Or what measurement they are? lost one while changing strings...

Hey ! you're super useful, I'll get you some tea gladly. Came with another question. How does this type of guitar respond to high gauge strings? Id like to go two whole steps down. If I get a heavier set (currently 11-50s and in DropC#), is there anything I need to be aware of besides the normal set up? Thank you :D

Fantastic Video, I have insanely brought a guitar kit that probably cost way more than it should as it is a headless guitar kit, but I just wanted a challenge, I certainly got one! Instructions were at best Mmmmm Useless Lol. I had worked out the installation of the bridge to a certain extent, but this video explains it all in detail. You are a Life Saver :) The wife will not be happy I seem to have brought another Kit for Christmas, this time a Telecaster kit so a lot cheaper this time! Cheers Subscribed :)

Hey, Devil! Cud you tell me, if i think to install this kind of bridge in "non-tremolo-mode" - would it be sucsessfull to me? If i separate two parts of it and instal the tuning pegs and real bridge only?

Hi! I am building my guitar and I purchased this bridge. The guide was fantastic and really helpful. I was wondering if you remember how deep you routed the bridge? It would be extremely helpful to know. Thank you.

This is really helpful i'm trying to figure out if these bridges are compatible with the hard tail variets or if body work needs to be done to make them fit, thanks for sharing.

@Devil & Sons Sir I have a Strindberg Spirit headless guitar and at 19 min mark you are turning that larg knob under the tuners for fine tuning ? Mine is VERY stiff and acts like it doesn't want to turn is that normal ? only had the guitar for short time and don't know the characteristics of it yet.

Great video. I’m thinking of using one of these bridges. I have a couple questions to ask before if you don’t mind to help out. 1. I like to use heavy string gauges but still in standard tuning. Do you think this bridge would have any problem dealing with the added tension? 2. How far from the nut was the start of your bridge route? Thanks

Hello. Im the owner of a Steinberger spirit. Im having problem keeping the tremolo arm locked, with the Allen key. It locks the tremolo arm to a certain point. The the Allen key just goes around and around..Is this natural. I would appreciate some help. Greetings.

Hi... First, thanks for this informative video. I just bought a Steinberger Spirit, and the tuning knobs are quite stiff, making it hard on the fingers to tune, never mind fine tune. Is there a way to make them more responsive, like maybe lubricating them? Or?

I don't understand why so many people hate the original neck end designed for double ball end strings. I could change the entire set of strings on my Steinberger/Hohner G2T in about 60 seconds, but with the single ball end neck adapter it makes it more of a hassle than on a standard headstock guitar.

Hi, where can i find routing instructions to fit one of these?

Can someone please tell me how I remove the top "floating" part of the bridge from the bottom? In the video he pulls it off without effort, but mine seems locked in place with the blades and pins, and I'm afraid to break it if I really pull. Anyone got any ideas?

very nice informative video, but i noticed, at 6:08 you say the tighter the tension the stiffer the tremolo is going to be. If you want to have floating tremolo in standard tuning, tension of strings equals tension of the spring, they are in balance and tremolo is floating. to make it stiffer you can only put higher gauge strings which require more tension on spring to be in balance. Or put stiffer stronger spring.... And one very important thing people with this bridge should have on mind when tuning all strings, you should first lock the latch, loosen this main screw for spring, tune all strings, than release the latch. Then what happens your guitar will go out of tune a little so with spring screw you tighten it and it will go in tune.

Just made quick video of an exercise/practice tool called a Shred Neck It's very well made, and good for practising legato, string skipping, or whatever in a car. It is not an instrument, and as it was ordered from an American company, i think it was 2013, I ended up paying a lot of import duties/taxes.. and it ended up costing £80. The last final view in my video is upside down, as when you use it the headstock is designed to rest on your leg , and if you noticed the slight scalloping near the nut→ that's to let you dig in with a pick. It's good for maintaining, building up hand strength. Hope you are doing ok Cheers John inHampshire ;~)

Hey, I've found that after adjusting the action and intonation in mine, the low E string seems to go in and out of tune, very slightly but constant, it's mildly anoying. Does anyone have any idea what it might be ? It's only on the low E string, and happens also when I fret a note. My guitar is a Steinberg Spirit.

hey, where can I purchase that headpiece? please let me know!!!!

Recently you said something about a Holdsworth inspired headless.. .... Will this be a shorter scale? Thank you John in Chandler's Ford ↓↓↓ [Still waiting for Anygig guitar to be delivered ]

Hi I’ve just taken delivery of a steinberger spirit , tuned it and released the bridge and it dropped flat, the fine tuner didn’t work, gave it some whammy and the whole thing exploded bits everywhere , it’s put me right off keeping it to be honest think I’ll send it back

I just re strung my steinberger spirit for the first time and upon installing the low e it buzzes like crazy..do u know what the problem is?

The doo hickey in the back is sticking out too long....can I shorten it?

There should be a hex bolt on the upper edge to clamp the intonators.

One day I will make a detailed video verbalising all my thoughts on the headless Anygig guitar.. On Sat 21st Oct, i recieved Shawn Lane Vigier. I made quick video

I lost the spring to my guitar ! Can anyone help me where to get it

very interesting do you have in headless guitars for sale? cheers John in SO53 in Hampshire

Is this overlord of music?

I have seen this tremolo on the asian direct sales sights for $59.99. It's normally sold with Overlord Of Music cast into the top of it. It actually appears to be a relatively well though out tremolo. Of course, it is a much cheaper copy of the Steinberger tremolo; without all of the functions of the Steinberger. Also, I wonder about the long-term use of it. Will it stand-up to constant use? Slayer, anyone? Just looking at this KZfaq video it appears to be pot-metal; not steel like a higher quality Kahler.

can you make a video, why your channel's name is devil and son??

Is that an actual Steinberger bridge? Or the Chinese knockoff "Overlord Of Music"?

that guitar is both the worst and the best thing i've ever seen.

What the hell happened to the guitar mess

That's one ugly lookin Guitar lol

It was extremely knowledgeable but the guitar is the most uglyest.
