Anyone heard of this trem unit by Ed Roman? Seems like a Hipshot Contour copy and even the URL page is tremhips- "hips", could it be less obvious?

I don't like the idea of a "threadless design". This means that there is no easy way to adjust the overall height of the bridge.

By "threadless design", perhaps he is describing the trem arm?

Yep, looks like a re-brand to me.

Anything to make a buck.  At least he's not as bad as Mr Dancing Close To You

I've heard Ed Roman's trems are made from vintage steel culled from the historical Brooklyn Bridge.
