1 There is absolutely no clonkiness or looseness when using the arm .
2 The rotational friction is variable to suit the player by a simple fingers only turn on the adjuster.
3The arm angle/height is adjustable without having to readjust tension springs and reset saddle heights etc.
And it is not an expensive product.
. I have had my strat for 52 years now and have grown tired of ptfe tape bodging which incidentally only lasts for about 30 minutes playing time and is unsatisfactory as it restricts rotation when it is fresh and then soon becomes sloppy again.
Why are you guys so against it? I have been using one on my strat for the last 3 years about 1500 hours of playing time and it is problem free.
To dismiss every new development is very close minded thinking and if everyone thought on this way the strat itself would never have come into being. After all, who needs 3 pickups? There are 3 on my tele.Who nrefs individually adjusting height and intonation bridge saddles ? Who needs all the machine heads in line pn the yop side of the headstock?Who needs a contoured body shape?
Do you see my point All these things may be unnecessary but they make the instrument better, more comfortable,easier to use and play .
I do not support every whimsical product thatt comes along but when something simple effectively improves sn already great instrument, it deserves merit
