QuickLoad™ Tremolo



Breaking a string on a Strat-trem can be a real show stopper, and not the good kind. As creative as your expletives may be, nobody wants to hear them as you try fishing the string through one of those tiny holes in the back of the guitar. Mercifully, this nightmare scenario is a thing of the past with Hipshot’s® new QuickLoad™ system. Simply insert the string down through the top of the bridge and pull up to set the ball end into the patented sustain block. Coupled with Hipshot’s® Grip-Lock™ tuning machines, you’ll be setting speed records for Stratocaster string changes in no time!


  • Patented QuickLoad™ system enables top or rear loading of strings while utilizing the full mass of the sustain block
  • Only available on select Hipshot synchronized tremolos
  • Available in standard and short block sizes
  • QuickLoad™ sustain blocks are not sold separately as they do not work with stock bridges
