Anyone have an SG with a Maestro Vibrola like this ?

Sorry- missed this. No. I keep the arm pointed toward the jack and don’t use it. I enjoy the relief on the string tension with string bends during solo work , and I dig the look of it as well. Dive bomb tremolo type playing , I reserve for my LP with a Floyd.
