Has anyone had any experience with these vibrato bridge units yet?

It's a shame they missed the chance to use to catch phrase "What happens in tune, stays in tune."

Ha! Great slogan. Probably not aware of the Las Vegas reference given they are a European company, though.

That trem looks killer! If it were half the price, I'd have to give it a try!

Looks a little like the 'spring steel' concept of the Super Vee Bladerunner.

I can see some similarities, but the Spanish one isn't limited by the guitar body in how much you can pull up, because it's a lot smaller. I can't tell if the Super Vee has a separate plate that screws to the body like the VegaTrem one does, or if the whole bridge unit is one piece.

i got one, great trem. Indeed it seems like they copied the blade idea.

the bladerunner has 3 pieces: a) the body fastening plate which is stable, b) the blade, c) rest of (moving) bridge.
About pull ups, no problem with bladerunner , just set it up with a small angle towards the pups side.

But bare in mind that in order for your guitar to stay in tune, the nut and the setup in the nut must be *PERFECT*. (which is true also for this trem in question)

In that case, it seems like someone in Spain has not been as inventive as they claim...
I think that the VegaTrem goes back into the body like a recessed Floyd Rose, rather than just being a floating vintage-style vibrato.
