Ok with all this Lockdown madness i thought about fitting a Stetsbar to my Kawai KS11, anyone had experience of these units as the one i tried at the Guitar Show in Brum looked ideal

    I thought about similar but the price and ugliness put me off.

    Decided that I was fine with a non reversible option and did this:


    The trick to making it all work nicely in tune is rounding the contact points of the bridge so it rocks back and forth on the studs.

    I've had Bigsby units before and lovely as they are the Stetsbar impressed with its smoothness but i'm struggling to find a model for a wraparound bridge ,I might have to make a few calls tomorrow

    You hero ! I blame befuddlement and general fuckwittery
    I'd have to change the bushings to metric but that should be ok but alas the Stetsbar is out of stock
