The G&L Dual-Fulcrum® vibrato uses two pivoting points rather than the six wood screws attaching the a vintage type tremolo.
Leo Fender† created this design to yield a much smoother, "silky" feel and allows the player to bend notes up as well as down.
Unlike silmilar looking bridges, the DF vibrato uses a hardened steel bridge plate, pivoting on knife-edge bolts set into massive brass inserts
anchored into the body. The bolts themselves are machined from billets of cold-rolled steel, then heat treated for hardness and finally plated.

The handling of the vibrato is improved with the addition of a machined aluminum tremolo arm that uses a single locking Allen screw,
pressing a nylon insert to allow quick installation and removal, smooth feel, and also allow the player adjust the amount of resistance on the arm.
