Tremolo

• The "T" in "TDG" indicates that the guitar includes a tremolo tailpiece. To be specific, the AF75TDG includes an Ibanez VBF70 Vintage Vibrato, which is licensed by Fred W. Gretsch Enterprises, Ltd. in the U.S. This style of vibrato provides a vintage sound, as heard on country and rockabilly recordings from the 1950s and 1960s. The guitar also includes an ART2 bridge with roller saddles, as opposed to the ART1 bridge with fixed saddles included with the standard AF75.
