Duesenberg Les Trem II Revisted, Now With Upgrades!

A number of months ago I posted a video where I popped a Deusenberg Les Trem II on my Epiphone ES-335, just to see what would happen. I was really impressed by it's ease of installation and excellent user experience. Apparently so were many of you because that has been my most viewed video garnering over 6000 views. (My son recently pointed out that as of this posting, my very first video showcasing the difference between bone and plastic nuts and saddles has somehow recently outpaced it.)

I have been wanting to make this video for a long time, where I revisit the Les Trem and address some of the comments that were mentioned in that video. So, here we are. Today, I reinstall the Les Trem on my ES-335, and add some of the most requested hardware upgrades to my guitar, all to answer the question "Can a guitar stay in tune when using the tremolo bar?"

Today I install the Les Trem I by Duesenberg, but I also install a high quality Roller bridge, as well as a String Butler. Then I do a tuning test to see what the result is.

This video starts a 2-part mini series focused on tuning stability for Gibson style guitars. In my next video, I am going to completely overhaul my buddy's crazy Chibson that sounds amazing but has absolutely abysmal tuning stability. So, make sure to subscribe to catch next week's video!
