The Hipshot "Tremsetter" is a devise that locks a Fender Stratocaster tremelo bridge in place while playing so the bridge does not move especially during bends and stress on the strings. When you want to use the whammy bar the Tremsetter unlocks easily with downward pressure and the best part is the bridge returns to pitch every single time making tuning issues a thing of the past. I wouldn't be surprised if these show up on Fender Stratocasters as standard equipment.

I'm pretty handy with tools so I tried to install this myself. The good news: it's a non-destructive install. If you screw it up, which I did, the results are easily hidden when you reinstall your factory tremolo springs and claw. I have a USA Strat with a vintage tremolo. I watched the install video several times before doing any work. Followed the instructions carefully. However, I did not align the device properly and consequently the device never worked as it should have. I didn't feel like filling the two small holes and re drilling, so I just put my standard trem back in. So my review is a qualified one: I did use the device and it seemed that was doing what it was supposed to do. But it would not stay in tune, let alone come back to proper pitch after the bar was used. It did eliminate flutter kept other strings in tune while bending. Unless you are sure you can work with precise, small measurements have pro install this.Read full review

Great little "suspension element" definitely adds a lot of stability to any tremolo system. Even if u go crazy bombdiving, it will return to zero position. Two tips 1) The tension might need to be increased (with two white rollers) quite more then you might think, especially if you intend to use D-Tuna or drop D tuning. 2) Because I am using D-tuna I had to tighten the spring with two white rollers. It improves the tone a lot, and going up or down with trem system is now much more controllable and refined, however it means that you can't really get vibrato bigsby-like effect because it takes some straighten to move the trem pass zero point. Overall I did not meant that stratocaster to be used for vibe, it is Rock machine and on rock machine with floating tremolo, this stabilizer works just great. P.S. A little tough to install and painful on your fingers if you let it slip during installation.Read full review

Awesome product, I recently repaired an older Fender Strat plus and up until that point, had never experienced the tremsetter’s advantage! After I had dialed in my friends Strat and both he and I noticed that it stayed in tune perfectly, every time, I had to buy and install one in my own American JB Strat! Absolutely a very cool invention, no wonder Fender used it on one of their higher end models! Well worth it!

I have one of these in every one of my guitars with a Floyd Rose bridge in it. That adds up to 5 at this point. I use it to not only bring the bridge back to center but I tighten the bull spring down to help stabilize the bridge and I get no warble when I palm mute or when I bend the strings. I will admit that it is kind of tricky to set up especially if you have not set one up before. When they are set up right they are fantastic and in my opinion probably the best thing there is for a fully floating bridge. This thing even holds one of my Floyds stable with an EVH D-Tuna on it.
