The Savvy™ - Compensated Wraparound Tailpiece
Finally, a wraparound bridge that’s been engineered to solve intonation problems, height issues, and string breakage—while still maintaining a vintage look. It’s lightweight, highly resonant, and when paired with locking studs, it makes my modern Gibson and Epiphone double-cut Specials play and sound better than ever.
Installed on a 68 Gibson Melody Maker, improved playability tone and sustain. Very good product thank you for making it available!
Just bought one of the Epiphone inspired by Gibson 1960 Les Paul Jr's. It had all the issues you have ever heard about with a wrap around tail piece. Sitar sound, Couldn't intonate, tuning problems, tilting, dead string problems. These guitars get such a glowing review, I had to try something. After watching several videos on the subject, I decided to give the Music City Bridge Savvy a try. I'm a Skeptic by nature, so I didn't have much hope that it would help. It literally took care of every one of the problems I listed. It turned that guitar into a Keeper..
Great bridge!! It’s amazing how it brings the guitar to life acoustically and sonically. Not to mention it’s easy to use and intonation it’s spot on!
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
