Tuning Stability and Playing Freedom Without Sacrificing Vibrato Feel
The Engl Hardtailer is a locking system designed for guitarists who enjoy the feel of a floating vibrato but want to secure tuning and sustain during demanding situations. By limiting the vibrato to "down-only" operation, you gain better control over tuning return while retaining the ability to use your vibrato dives naturally and expressively.
An Ideal Ally for String Changes and Drop Tuning
In daily use, the Hardtailer simplifies life: string changes become quicker and more relaxed because the system helps stabilize the entire setup. It is also particularly useful if you frequently switch from standard tuning to drop tuning: you can lower the tuning without having to rebalance the vibrato each time, saving valuable time during rehearsals, studio sessions, or on stage.
High-End Materials and CNC Precision for Clean Integration
Made from high-quality brass and aluminum, the Engl Hardtailer focuses on maximum precision thanks to advanced CNC milling. The goal is clear: reliable action, smooth operation, and integration that respects your instrument. All with easy installation designed to be effective without altering your guitar or requiring complex adjustments.
- No unwanted noise or sound degradation
