This is definitely cool if you want a Bigsby-style.
I much prefer the Duesenberg Les Trem II though and will probably buy one for my Epiphone Dot if/when my finances improve. (This stock market "crash" has cost me a shitload of money. )

Hey Pesky,
Do you know if the Duesenberg Les Trem II fits imports like Agile or SX?

I can confirm that it fits at least one Agile! I used to have one on my old Agile AL-2500, so I strongly suspect it would fit any reasonably standard import.
I sold both guitar and Les Trem a while back in a great gear cleanup, but just recently I found myself thinking that a Les Trem would be useful and look good on my Firebird, and now I wish I hadn't sold it... *sigh*

they fit on Epiphones, so I'm guessing yes.

Would look really nice on something like an Explorer. Too square for an LP to my eye.
I still have a gold Bigsby B5 with a Vibramate I haven't figured out the correct home for...and GFS is not very lefty friendly so I won't have to worry.

It says it fits any USA or import-spec guitar with a TOM bridge.
That’s a plus.
It says it comes with metric studs.
SAE studs have to be ordered separately.
Looks like it’s geared towards the import market.
Of course, no lefty version.
That leaves me out.
That’s OK. I have TP6 tailpieces and roller bridges.
Although, it would have been kind of cool to have a roller TOM bridge and the X trem on the new 2xP90 Hawk.
I’d better forget about trems for that one.
One of the reasons I got it is the lack of a trem.
I don’t see a lefty version of the Duesenberg, either.
Looks like I’m safe from that temptation.

On a related note, finally -- Finally! -- managed to score an original-flavor Les Trem.

Congrats on Les Trem score, they look better than the new model .
Scored a used one years ago and put it on my Bitch.
[attachment=0]unnamed.jpg[/attachment
One issue with mine was that it came apart in use .
It is made in two pieces and held together with two small screws . maybe 6/32 or 3.5mm
I used slightly longer ss screws and cut them down to a length to fully use all the threads in the tapped holes .
A touch of Macgyver and locktite and you are good.
Why thank you, good sir.
I can always count on the enablers here to help me spend my money.
