NEW 7 string Locking Trem Design.

jtm45 · 04-17-2007, 06:51 PM

This caught my eye the other day.
A double-locking 7 string trem that appears to be completely custom designed and built.
It actually looks like it could be quite good too. It reminds me a bit of the Parker trems in the way that it's got those black surround parts with the chrome saddles and fine-tuners.Looks like it might be a bearing type rather than a pivot Floyd/Edge type,but it's hard to tell a lot about them in these pics.
They appear to only be available on their own guitars unfortunately though,which,although they look to be of awesome quality,have a bit of an un-gainly body shape,or the horns are dodgy and bulbous to be more precise.
The make is 'Fibenare'.I think they might be Italian or something.
Check the trems though.Certainly interesting;

It looks like Floyd saddles in a cast base plate to me. I wonder how it pivots.

D-EJ915 · 04-17-2007, 08:06 PM

It sure does look pretty

Nice! I wonder if they have piezo for it?

Looks like a Floyd-type with the knife edges covered up, at least at first glance. Nice metalwork.

I couldn't find any mention of piezos on their site but they're quite an innovative company by the looks and apparently they make all of their hardware themselves apart from the tuners. I don't suppose they'd be that difficult to talk into custom piezo 7 string trems.

They also make basses so they may well have access to piezo parts.
It says on their site that they built these trems because they wanted a locking trem that would keep the strings parallel to the fretboard.
They don't appear to be like a Kahler though where the saddles are fixed in place.Hmmm...??
They also appear to make some interesting 7 string pickups for some of their guitars too.The middle and neck pickups are humbuckers too so maybe their a coil splittable single-coil sized humbucker ;
Looking at this trem now i've only just realised that it's another 7 string trem,not like the others and again built by them.More of a traditional Floyd type by the looks.

Nice neck joints too;

Awesome guitar.
That neck joint looks like heaven.

Pretty cool. Why do I think I saw this trem before on Jemsite and it was something weird like all the saddles are independent or something like that...
