Adaptateur TOWNER + V.Block pour Montage Sans Percage du Vibrato BIGSBY® B3 sur Les Paul® Gibson®Christian Towner invente le DTB (Down Tension Bar) parce qu’il refuse de faire un trou dans sa guitare ...Le DTB se fixe sur les inserts du cordier d’une guitare américaine. L’objectif est de plaquer les cordes sur le chevalet (comme la barre avant d’un B7) mais l’avantage du DTB c’est que l’action est réglable. En montant ou baissant les inserts on contrôle parfaitement le paramètre V.S.T (Variable String Tension) qui a une influence sur le sustain et la tonalité générale de la guitare. Une tension forte des cordes (barre plutôt baissée) réduira le sustain mais donnera un caractère dynamique et pénétrant au son, alors qu’une barre levée produira un son lâché, plus vibrant, voire discordant ... Towner insiste sur le point d’équilibre dans la tension à trouver pour chaque guitare.No drilling, no routing, no modifications to the guitar! This kit will convert Les Paul to use a Bigsby®B3 (only) tailpiece with no modifications.The V.BLOCK is a complete SCREW-LESS system that includes the DTB and HPA. It uses a 1/2 in.Tthick block mounted to the hinge-plate of the Bigsby B3 tailpiece creating distance between the spring cup of the tailpiece and the stud on Les Paul guitar bodies ONLY. The hinge-plate adapter is designed to go on the outside of the B3 hinge-plate to raise the strap button out of the slot for easier access. Designed for the BIGSBY B3 vibrato tailpieces ONLY. The TOWNER V.BLOCK is designed set the BIGSBY spring cup back 1/2″ inch from butting up against the stop tailpiece stud.The TOWNER V.BLOCK System works best with LES PAUL or short type guitar bodies to mount a BIGSBY B3 vibrato tailpiece. The TOWNER Down Tension Bar manages your sustain controlling your break angle. With the ability to raise or lower the TOWNER Down Tension Bar you can control how much downward tension you want on your strings, therefore, managing the guitar string sustain. The TOWNER Hinge Plate Adaptor is designed to lift your strap lock or strap button out above the slot in BIGSBY B3 hinge plates for easier access to your strap lock or strap button. Strap lock buttons and strap buttons do not fit between the slot of the BIGSBY B3 hinge plates. The TOWNER Hinge Plate Adaptor slot provides room for exact placement of the BIGSBY. The TOWNER Hinge Plate Adaptor acts as a retainer holding the BIGSBY vibrato tailpiece to the guitar body with a 2″ screw placed through the strap button, relieving you from having to drill the four extra screws into your guitar provided with BIGSBY B3 vibrato tailpieces.
