Upgrade Your Strat with World-Class Tone & Tuning Stability
The SuperVee BladeRunner is a high-performance vintage-style tremolo designed to replace standard bridges with absolutely zero permanent modifications. Engineered with our patented "Blade" pivot technology, it delivers a frictionless, smooth-as-silk vibrato action while retaining the incredible resonance and sustain of a hardtail bridge.
1. Will It Fit My Guitar? (Compatibility Guide)
The BladeRunner is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for standard vintage routing. No drilling, routing, or cutting required.
- Direct Drop-In Fit: Compatible with all major manufacturers including Fender (USA & MIM), all Strat copies, Wilkinson, PRS, Suhr, Gotoh, and Yamaha Pacifica.
- String Spacing: Features a 2.1” E-to-E string spacing that works flawlessly with both vintage and modern string spacings.
- Mounting Options: This specific model is designed for 6-screw vintage mount (note: it utilizes 4 of the pre-drilled 6 holes for optimized stability). If your guitar pivots on 2 posts, check out our 2-Point mounting variant.
2. How Does the "Blade" Technology Work?
Traditional tremolos rely on knife-edges rubbing against screws or posts, causing friction, wear, and tuning instability.
- Zero Friction: Our patented tempered spring-steel "Blade" flexes instead of grinding against a pivot point, meaning zero friction and an incredibly consistent return-to-pitch.
- Hardtail Sustain: Because the bridge remains anchored via the blade, it releases the locked-in sustain and tonal resonance usually lost in floating tremolo systems.
- Wobble-Free Action: Enjoy a completely frictionless feel with a tight, wobble-free whammy bar response.
3. Which Custom Shop Block should I Choose?
Our Sustainium block is awesome and offered as standard on all our BladeRunner products. Here's a quick summary:
| Tone Block Option | Tonal Characteristics & Performance |
| Sustainium (Most Popular) | Machined from a proprietary lightweight aluminum alloy. Boosts all frequencies evenly while rolling off harsh "ice-pick" highs. Highly musical with great note-to-note separation. |
| Bell Brass | Machined from solid 360 alloy brass. Delivering a warm, jazzier tone with maximum, singing sustain that rings out indefinitely. |
| Carbon Steel | Machined from a 1020 carbon steel bar, polished and nickel-plated. Yields a faster attack and a noticeable low-end punch—perfect for heavy, aggressive playing styles. |
| Shorty (1.5") | Designed specifically for thinner guitar bodies to prevent the block from protruding out of the back cavity. |
