About the Bridge:
Introducing the Stud Finder by Music City Bridge! This is the best replacement Wraparound Tailpiece for ‘50s and ‘60s Gibsons with the offset bridge studs.
The original Gibson Stop Bar (Wraparound) tailpieces on these vintage guitars has 5 major problems:
-The treble stud is was far forward. This means that in order to intonate correctly you have to tighten the treble-side allen screw almost all the way, and intonation was still imperfect.
-The amount you have to adjust the bridge to compensate for intonation causes the strings to not line up over the pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
-Since the treble-side precariously balances on the allen screw it is prone to tipping, throwing your guitar completely out of tune.
-The high profile of the original bridge limits how low you can set your action.
-The original bridge was prone to “sitaring.” The strings would vibrate against the bridge creating an annoying buzz.
The Stud Finder Gibson Replacement Wraparound Tailpiece corrects all of these problems:
-Extended treble-side collar and compensated top for accurate intonation.
-Offset string holes which allow strings to line up over pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
-Extended treble-side collar gives metal-on-metal contact. This means better tone and sustain and NO MORE TIPPING!
-Low profile so you can set your action as low as you want to.
-No sitar buzz!
