GFS X-Trem ( better than Bigsby?)

I have several of these GFS X-Trems now and think they are excellent. Unlike a Bigsby, the X-Trem avoids the hassle during restring.

These come with 2 spring types ( hard  and soft) to accommodate various playing style and preferences.

I use the Hard spring and with 10-46 strings I can play country bends and double stops on G & B strings while bottom E and A string remain at pitch  - like a stock non tremolo Tele does.

Cheers for that. I'm building a Bigsby tele ATM. I saw these on their website and wasn't sure about the quality.
