The 5 Most searched Questions about the Duesenberg LesTrem 

I want to stiffen the lateral movement of the arm, but the section on this vid in that regard is hurried, and vague....it would be nice to have some greater clarification as to how to adjust....

Cool video and cool feedback from duesenberg to the audience here! I've been readin some questions and answers and really helped me out!! Think i'm gonna try one! 🤔🙏✌

One small annoyance with Les Trem is that the lock nut that's inside the spring does not really hold and the bar becomes loose after short use. This can be fixed easily by wrapping couple of rounds of teflon thread seal tape around the screw.

Great video! Will probably buy it because of this video!

I'm in Finland. We got loads of Lutherans here, but I can't find one who knows a damn thing about fitting tremolo units.

I bought your first model (the one with a wider bar) 20 years ago for a Gibson SG. It was super smooth and kept the tune awesomely. I sold it together with that SG. Maybe it’s time to buy this new model for another guitar.

The easy way to put a tremolo in my Hohner SE 35 without holes, and great price!!! Great product!!! The others choices are so expensives or you need make holes on your guitar.

yes - I bought it and I installed it to an ESP Edwards "Michael Schenker Flying V" and it works fine. There are differences between the strings. By the high E-string I can trem a half tone below - by the deep E-String I can make Divebombs ...... btw. I bought an additional "roller bridge" for better tuning stability.

They quickly mention the lock nut that controls the tremolo arm. Even if you do not adjust it, it comes loose or did for me over time. This to me seems like the major design flaw as your tuning instantly disappears. I initially really liked it, but it is no longer usable to me as it loosens after minutes of use for me. I would have to use locktite to stabilize it at this point I think. Even then, that is a fix that i would like to avoid and instead have something mechanically sound. Until this point of weakness is addressed, I do not foresee buying another. I know this is a common issue also. I am willing to go with a hardtail in the meantime though as I prefer tuning stability above all else, which, is why I gravitated towards this tremolo over the Bigsby in the first place. It is a shame there is this one significant point of failure in an otherwise well thought out, smooth tremolo.

well , i have used this trem om my gibson es 335 for some time and now it's on my epi 2020 ( inspired by gibson ) ES 335 , and yes , it's works like a dream , no need for a roller brigde ! and it's way less expensive then a bigsby , also weighs less then a bigsby , and it is a easy fix , thank you duesenberg !!! the best trem there is for gibby style guitars !!!

I really liked this product! I really wanted to put on my Les Paul Special Epiphone I guitar! But unfortunately the values ​​I managed to find on the internet, for my country, are not viable! A sadness, because I don't want to take imported product with low quality, and that will have holes in my guitar. :(

You can't close the Les Paul case without removing the twang bar. Also, you can't install the trem on an SG with the bat's wing pickguard without cutting off a piece of the pick-guard.

Hello , I have a Caribou with Les Trem !! What’s the best way to restring ? I have other guitars with a Bigsby there a nightmare !! Also can I go to my preferred gauge 9-42 !! Thanks

ordered 2 Duesenberg Les Tremolo ll’s from Thomann, one in gold and one in chrome. However, I want to order a roller bridge but one of my guitar's fingerboard radius is 12" and the other is 10" what do I do. Most of them have a 14” radius. That is why I cancelled the roller saddle and opted to lubricate the existing saddles and nut. Any recommendations, please? Any adjustable height Tune O Matic roller bridges available?

Will it fit a Gretsch electromatic jet duo Style guitar?

The ~5cm long flat metal bar in Les Trem II is too soft/weak for anykind of bending. The metal bar in my trem has bent a lot due to bending notes and I doubt that it won't be too long until it has bent so much that I have to ditch the Les Trem II and find something else.

There is some inconsistency in the operation of Les Trem. It does not return exactly to the original position when the bar is released after pulling it. Many strings are left little bit sharp. It is something in the design of Les Trem - not in the bridge, nut or tuners. If the hex nut is not tightened properly then the guitar goes easily out of tune, but even when the nut is fully tightened there is still some inconsistency in the operation. I wonder if the arm that is holding the spring is able to change its angle slightly even when the hex nut is fully tightened. There goes quite a bit force to the arm when then bar is used. The angle of the arm has an effect to the spring tension, which in turn has an effect to the tuning and its stability.

Hey there, so I have a les trem ii that I currently dont use because I kept snapping strings right at the ball end. Especially high E strings, like ALOT of strings. Any solutions to this problem? Am I doing something wrong? I had the les trem ii installed on a epiphone dot with no issues what so ever then I put it on an Eastman T386 and it just didnt seem to mesh with that guitar.

Hi, just one question. Will this fit on a guitar with a hardtail bridge, or would some drilling or some other mods have to be involved?

I have this trem system on my Gibson Les Paul, and high E-string breaks often in weird way. Among all 6 strings, only high e-string's loop to ball end get loosened, and string dies. I tried with different strings but usually end up with same result. So what should I do to fix it? Any helps?

Would love to try this out, but the way that standard tunomatic bridge is moving doesn't look healthy at all. 1:35 Looks like it could warp the posts or cause them grind away the wood on the sides causing them to get loose. Or are those bridge saddles just not slotted properly? Wondering how this would look with a Roller-Bridge.

looks like a great option for my Charvel Desolation LP style guitar, except... it doesn't come in the black nickel finish the rest of the hardware on the guitar is. I wonder if i could find a company that could strip and resurface the components in black nickel?

So a rolling bridge is mandatory?

How was "Where to buy in the USA" not the highest "searched les trem" term? Amazon, nope. Sweetwater, nope. Guitar Center, nope. Reverb and Ebay are the only option and they are all EU sellers. I want to know simply, who in the USA actually stocks them?
