I bought this device (VegaTrem VT1 Std. St. Steel) after viewing many videos of similar devices and by comparison it seemed the easiest to install with an enormous availability to maneuver the bending of the guitar strings.
Everything was exactly as described. It is a stable, solid mechanism that has no major problems in keeping the strings in tone. No modifications required. As a sustain, it looks a little shorter than the original Fender I had. It compensates by keeping the tuning and maximising free movement. It comes with four types of springs. The lowest tension springs are for the 0.8. I replaced the old one in about 15 minutes. I also use Fender Locking Tunners and a Tusk nut.
As for the Cons:
What I didn't find anywhere is the size of the device. I found that it is too deep (7mm) for the body of my guitar (Fender Squier) which is only 39.7 mm. The device protrudes from the body of the guitar by approximately 7 mm. So I'm a little disappointed with that.
I don't know if it's common, but the 6 blocks that guide and adjust the pitch are not the same. I received a set that contains three normal and three that have a bevel through which you can see, at the base, the height adjustment screws (at the saddle side). They seem to belong to another device model. Either one or the other.
I gave the maximum stars because the device makes all the money! For me, what he can do is more important than what he looks like.

GOT IT ON MY AZES IBZ !!!
PAUL THE MOLE 14.01.2025
I managed to put it on my Azes Ibanez ( with a little help from my friends ), but it wasn't straightforward, I had to chisel a bit of wood from the cavity and put a small rosewood plate under the knife so it levels up, the measures of AZ are close but not exact but it became great, I have a Strat too and my thought was if I won't make it I'll put it on Fender then but it worked and I'm happy with the outcome it's like from the factory and trem itself feels amazing, highly recommend!

Great vibrato system!
Guitarplayer1234 18.12.2021
The system was easier to install than I had expected, and was easy to set up properly with intonation and action.
Combined with some good locking tuners, my 2003 Fender Mexico stays in tune even after I've really abused the vibrato bar through several songs. After breaking a string all I had to do was replace the broken one and tune the new string, and it was perfectly in tune again.
Very responsive, so if you want a subtle vibrato this may not be for you. You can still do it, but need to be wary of the responsiveness.
You can tilt forwards and backwards without modifying an original vibrato system slot, and you can really go far with the bar.
Extremely good for divebombs and over the top vibrato tricks.

Vega Trem VT1
Nikoda 14.12.2022
product of high construction quality, but it must always be combined with locking tuners to keep the tuning well
