Swope Guitars the Descendant
Swope Guitars unveiled a new vibrato called the Descendant at NAMM this week. Determined to build a better mousetrap and keep those strings in the saddles, Chris Swope's patented design allows a player to adjust the break angle behind the bridge and the ball ends to rest below the surface of the guitar's top.
