MCB Locking Studs - Designed to work with virtually any bridge or stop bar. 

Get 25% off MCB Locking Studs when purchased with a Savvy or Stud Finder Bridge.

MCB Locking Studs pair perfectly with our Savvy or Stud Finder bridges, and will work with virtually any bridge or stop bar. 

They feature a top and bottom section that allow you to fasten the studs tightly to your bridge. This can improve action, remove tipping, and eliminate sitarring. 

The MCB Locking Studs feature a totally unique design that preserves the look of traditional studs but allows for a perfect fit with your bridge. The lower section of the stud is recessed to receive the barrel of the upper stud, creating a seal between the two pieces. 

What's more, the supplied adjustment tools make it easy to change action and tighten the locking section. 

Fitment Specs:

If your guitar was made in the USA, these Standard Thread studs will fit into your existing bushings. 

Note: If you are based in the EU you might consider purchasing this product from our distributing partner Kitarapaja to reduce shipping costs:

    Over delivered!

    I put the MCB wrap-around tailpiece and locking studs on my 57 Junior Custom Ship LP Junior. The "sitaring" went away immediately, and the intonation was almost dead on before my subtle tweaks. Well done, lads!

    In a class of its own

    I just got my Gibson Les Paul Junior custom shop back from my luthier. I had him install "The Savvy™ - Compensated Wraparound Tailpiece with the MCB Locking Studs. What a difference in sound. Then and now, it is just like I own 2 different guitars. The one I had before I bought The Savvy and the one I got 2 days ago. Before, the guitar sounded very dull with bad intonation for a custom shop and now, The Savvy gave the real value to my guitar with a perfect intonation and a clarity of sounds. I am impressed and very happy. That is what I call a Super product. Each Gibson that uses a wraparound bridge should be equipped with "The Savvy ». Thanks to Joe Glaser.

    Sitar fixed

    Was using my OG studs and was wondering what was up with the sitaring. Per Uncle Larry’s recommendation on a recent episode stating that if the bridge was rocking at all, then sitaring was expected, I got the MCB locking studs… no more sitar on my 1960 LPJ.

    FYI… Def watch the video of the install! Super helpful!

    Locking studs

    Put the locking studs on a hamer 25th anniversary guitar and it enhanced tremendously an already great sounding guitar. Cannot say enough good things about this product!

    Locking studs - Worthy upgrade

    Great product to keep any wraptail bride from tilting. Fantastic upgrade.

    Another winner from MCB!

    I swapped out the factory "locking" studs on my Heritage H-535 with the MCB locking studs and what a difference! They look better, hold stronger, and I was able to get my tailpiece much lower to the body - while still maintaing clearance over the bridge.

    An excellent product and super fast shipping!

    It should be factory-installed in every instrument on the planet. Wonderful.

    The “Stud” of “Studs”

    I picked these up to go along with the Saavy wraparound bridge for my 20 lpjr. Best part is how easy they adjust the stud height. These would also be a nice fix for other Les Paul’s!
    Outstanding!!!

    Melody Maker turns into LP Killer!

    Turned my Melody Maker into a “real Les Paul Killer!”
    That comment is for Uncle Larry! 😁
    TBH, this is the the second set of studs/Savvy I have purchased for two different guitars (melody maker ‘09, and an Indonesian Hamer Corina.

    Both guitars suffered from cheap bullshit bridge syndrom. Now they both play great!

    Beers on me Fellas!
