• Make Vega-Trem VT1 Setup and String Changes Easier with the New Dedicated "SB-VTA" Tool!

  

  2026/08/12

  The "SB-VTA," developed through a collaboration between Solid Bond and Zanshin Musical Instruments, is a support tool designed specifically for the Vega-Trem "VT1" tremolo unit, and it is now available!
  
  The "SB-VTA" is a specialized tool that temporarily holds the uniquely designed Vega-Trem VT1 in the optimal position. By keeping the unit securely in position during installation, it makes the setup process much smoother. During string changes, it also prevents the floating bridge from sinking. By holding the bridge in position even after all the strings have been removed, the tool allows you to change the strings and retune your instrument far more efficiently.
  
  Jointly developed by Solid Bond, an official Vega-Trem distributor, and Zanshin Musical Instruments, this maintenance tool is custom-designed for the VT1. Whether you are installing a Vega-Trem VT1 or simply want to make string changes more efficient, be sure to check it out!
