Customer Reviews
This upgrade is easy enough to install, but I recommend taking careful measurements before and after to really fine-tune the setup.
On my Les Paul Junior, I prefer keeping the action a bit higher to let the guitar’s natural resonance shine. Compared to the slinkier response of a Strat, this setup gives me more touch sensitivity and the ability to really dig into notes for added dynamics.
The bridge and studs themselves are top-notch quality. The difference in feel is immediate, and the guitar just responds better overall. On top of that, the bridge design makes dialing in intonation incredibly precise, which is a huge plus.
The best bridge on the market
This bridge came highly recommended by my friend and Uncle Larry. The workmanship is flawless and the service was very quick. Now I just need the guitar I am crafting to catch up so I can finish installing it.
What a winner with this bridge. Thee best fix for all those bridges with intonation that’s impossible …spot on intonation, sounds better with much more clarity and 3d tone over the stock bridges. Perfect for my newer SG jr with the lightning bridge….along with the locking studs it’s a no brainer and super simple to install and intonate
Fantastic product
I ordered it from Hungary from the partner kitarapaja.com.
(The Savvy aged + locking studs)
I heard a lot of good things before and now I decided to give it a try.
Wow and Wow!!!!
I bought it for my 2014 Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker, which I loved before, instead of the factory bridge it got a TonePros adjustable bridge a few years ago, but it still didn't feel like the real thing.
What can I say?
I installed the bridge in a few minutes, the intonation is better than on any of my other Gibson guitars that have adjustable bridges.
Not to mention that it looks fantastic on the guitar!!!!
I honestly wouldn't have believed it, but it really is like my guitar has been given a whole new life!
Hats off!!!! I'm very happy with this purchase!
I have been wanting to own a Gibson Les Paul Junior since the first time I heard Leslie West play, but had been hesitant since every one I played had intonation and tuning issues. This made the Junior a no-go for gigging so I've been playing my r9 for years. I saw Robert Baker's YouTube video visit to your shop where you demo these these bridges. So... I decided one more time to pick up a Junior and install the Savvy bridge and locking studs. I've never messed with replacing a wraparound bridge before and was thinking of taking to my guy to set this up, but I took it as a challenge to install this myself. It was incredibly simple to install with the tools provided. I plugged it in and...OMFG, this guitar came to life! It has awesome intonation, tuning stability better than my R9 and has growl for days! I couldn't be more happy with the results. Thanks so much for making my dream of the perfect Junior come true!
This bridge is the answer to the JR problems that have existed since 1954. I have 2020 lpjr that I wanted to try this out on along with the locking studs,which are as brilliant an idea as the bridge itself. But first I thought I would just try the locking studs with my original bridge and see how it intimated and took away the forward lean. The lean was gone,but I only intonated the low/high E strings which did intonate. The rest of the strings were not tested. This bridge does as advertised and once I aged the nickel finish it’s all good.
