Customer Reviews
I recently bought a 1966 Gibson SG Special. The previous owner had replaced the bridge and vibrola with this Music City Bridge compensated wraparound tail piece. It sounds excellent. Very clear and articulate. It’s easy to set action as well. Highly recommend this bridge.
After replacing the studs and bridge over my LP Jr. FD, I’m, immediately noticed tonal improvement of the guitar.
These are must haves when you use guitars with a wraparound bridge.
I ended up adding a Maestro style vibrato tailpiece to my 2019 SG Special. I wasn’t sure how to deal with the bridge so I ended up filing grooves into the Savvy (which had been previously installed with MCB locking posts) and trying it out. So far so good, the only other necessary tweak was adding some plumbing teflon tape to the threads of the lower section of the posts to to remove a bit of play between the posts snd the stock body inserts. The tone is quite good and stability surprisingly good. I really enjoy the aesthetics too!
Must have
Good piece of equipment.
Just a perfect product. Game changer for my 65 Melody Maker. First thing I bought for my new 66 Epi Olympic project.
The savvy intonated better...nice tone...corrected the micro tilt the original wraparound had...I put it on a Epiphone Jeff Beck Oxblood Les Paul...I'm a happy guitarist...
I installed the Savvy on my 2025 Gibson Les Paul Junior a few days ago, and I am extremely happy with it. The Savvy retains the look of the original tailpiece, sounds just as good, and dramatically improves intonation. This is an impressive product, and it is priced very fairly. I really like to leave my guitars unmodified, but I'm glad I made this change.
I installed the Savvy bridge and locking screws on my brand new Gibson USA LP Jr. Easy to install and set for intonation. Dramatic improvement with intonation and sustain. I now have a better guitar!
The Savvy can be a little labor intensive to set up and def has a learning curve. That said, it intonated amazingly and plays PERFECTLY. My guitar had a Badass wraparound clone and I couldn't get tye action where I wanted. The Savvy got me as low as I wanted with room to spare. Big shout out to the customer service over at MCB for taking the time to help me make sure it would work.
