Ah cool, I didn't know these came on tokai. They are made by a company called Answer. I knew about them on Washburns with the "Wonderbar" name and sold as standalone units under the Shift 2001 name. They make an adapter to fit onto a les paul using the stop tail studs and sold them as standalone upgrades. I had bought a burny lp and it came with one of these on it that I painstakingly took apart and cleaned to resell. What a pain in the butt with all those screws and rollers. lol Cool for what it is though, has a torsion spring inside it underneath those small caps you see on the sides so it doesn't need any body routing.

A review on a washburn with a shift tremolo rebuild by crimson guitars.


Some information I had found of the washburn branded version from my reverb sale a while back that applies.
