I have every reason to believe that this will be an amazing bridge (I will update again once it's installed). It seems like a solid build and feel, and the bar fits tightly with a teflon bushing and no slop or slack. That being said I got the black bridge and in the short time I've owned it after taking it out of the package and doing a test fit before painting my strat body, it's already showing paint wear from handing with bare hands and not coming in contact with any hard or sharp surfaces other than maybe a fingernail. The paint is rubbing off on the bridges sharp edges and the rough part of the block. The kit (it was factory sealed and in new condition) also didn't include set screws on the bridge block to lock the springs. One of the first things shown on the installation video was how to lock the spring to the bridge block with the set screw. Lastly it had a sticker on the trem arm telling you to keep it lubed, but it didn't include lube for the arm or the knife edge contacts of the bridge, both of which are sold for extra $ on the Vega Trem website. I think this will be a fantastic bridge and function wonderfully, and the seller shipped promptly through Amazon. It possibly deserves a 5 star review for tone and function (as I said, I'll update on the performance once installed) as everyone raves about the feel and range of the bridge, but I'm giving it 3 stars for my disappointment in the finish quality and that it's missing the set screws. I might also mention, I emailed VT and have yet to get a response about the missing parts. If you buy one of these bridges plan on picking up some metric 3x3 grub screws for the block, and maybe a few 3x5 for the saddles so if you need to adjust them low they're not poking the palm of your hand when bridge muting. Also, maybe reconsider getting black if you don't like "relic" guitars, as I'm sure the chrome or satin finish would hold up better. I hope my bar doesn't get all chipped up.... This is one of the most expensive bridges you can get, so I'm somewhat disappointed in it for the price.

BLACK ONLY .. Black had a coating that froze the saddle set screws in place making it impossible to adjust the height on the saddles. Gold and Silver do not have this problem, in fact they perform perfectly. Can't wait until this problem is corrected.
