"The Savvy" - Compensated Wraparound Tailpiece

Bought this Savvy to replace the stock wraparound on my '62 Junior. MCB website says it fits '61-present, but it sadly doesn't fit. It's too thick (or tall) to fit in the post slots of a legit 62. So I threw it on my '05 Junior, which it fit no problem. Works great, sounds great, and looks awesome.

I bought two bridges w/locking studs for two guitars - 2023 LP Jr. & Special. Initially I bought two bridges from another well-known aftermarket manufacturer used and loved by many famous guitarists. They didn’t work as expected and slanted waaaaay upwards after install. Then I found MCB...

The Savvy? Awesome. The studs stabilize it. Tuning and intonation problems are gone (compared to the original Gibson bridges). Sustain and tone are also greatly improved. Even the set-up process and result was improved. If you have a Special or Junior, order the MCB Savvy!

I was skeptical, I’m a if it’s not broke don’t fix it type of guy, anyway I kept hearing how good these were and I have a few wraptail guitars in my vault so I figured why not try one!? I threw it on my Murphy lab 57 jr and my intention wasn’t bad with the stock bridge but it was perfect. This bridge fixed the issue and it’s now in perfect intonation! So I guess that’s good! The design is great love it. Not a fan of the lightning bridges or whatever they are called these just look classy to me.

Did it transform the sound of this guitar and was there a life changing experience, to me there is a slight increase with sustain. The biggest fix was to the intonation which is what I wanted to “update”

Wow!!!
Went from firm and clear to fat and juicy!!

Excellent! Fast shipping. Quality product!

Showed them what I had and was recommended the savvy with the locking studs, works a charm. Highly recommend.

Works exactly as described, great tone and intonation, fit perfectly on a Hamer Studio mid 90s wraptail. I added some grooves on the back half with nut files to keep the strings properly located over the pickup polepieces but this would have to be done on a by guitar basis. Preslotted tuneomatics often have the same problem so thats a wash between the two bridge types.

Y’all know how tough it is to write a good bridge. Well this… is the perfect bridge.
Thanks Music City !

Recommended by Tom Bukovac this tailpiece solved the buzzing and sketchy tuning on my Les Paul Junior. Plus, quick delivery and responsive customer service.

They should call this thing The Redeemer. I mean why didn’t someone tell me I was so out of tune come on. Emailed music city with a question, they got right back to me. Savvy in hand a couple days later. Saved my R4 oxblood from the scrap pile. And it looks good. Easy drop-in upgrade. Massive improvement. Only took someone 70 years to figure it out
