“The Savvy” - A compensated wraparound tailpiece compatible with a vast majority of wraptail guitars.

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

The Savvy Bridge was designed with input from dozens of Nashville studio guitar players to get the intonation line, string spacing, and sound just right. The Savvy uses a custom-designed alloy for improved tone and sustain. 

The Savvy Bridge is an intonated wraparound tailpiece to be used as a direct replacement for most wraptail guitars.

The Savvy Bridges features:

  • Compensated top for accurate intonation.
  • Offset string holes that allow strings to line up over pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
  • Clean break-angle to do away with “sitaring”.
  • Custom alloy for improved sustain.

Wow!

I bought The Savvy for my 1962 Gibson Melody Maker. I thought the guitar sounded really good before, just those intonation issues they are plagued with. I replace the original bridge with the Savvy and the tone of the guitar has improved significantly. So much livelier and sustain. I wasn’t sure if needed The Savvy or The Stud Finder because of the offset of my post, but The Savvy works perfectly. Highly recommend

From a case guitar to a daily player!

This bridge and studs went on a 2022 LP JR. The guitar would not play in tune at all, it was awful. So I took it out of the case to sell it off, and did a bit of investigation for I have seen many players use this guitar and mine had to be a =n exception. Well, cutting the nut to the proper depth, despite the Sweetwater 55 point in section, and installation of this bridge made the guitar a gem! I believe it also contributed to the massive sustain. This LP JR weighs in at 6.5lbs and I now love it. This bridge, and studs, IMO are a requirement to these type guitars.
Attached in the picture you will see the nut files and the MCB bridge and studs.

I put a savvy on a slant lp jr and it is killer. Tone, style, everything just works. Spacing is phenomenal.

I put another on a 2015 lp jr. Had to send back for the alternate bridge. It wasn't quite as good of a fit. The treble side is a bit back. Those 2015 guitars are a bit weird. All in all, I recommend highly. This is the 4th brand of wraparound I've tried, and the best of them all, by a wide margin.

The Savvy on an SG Jr.

The description, and reviews, on the site are 100% accurate. Also, whatever material they used, certainly helps tone. I doubt you’ll find a better bridge for these types of guitars. Combined with the locking studs, it’s totally changed this guitar, to one of my favorites to play. Buy them. You will not regret it.

Big Improvement

I used the bridge to replace the factory bridge lightning bridge on a new Squier Stratosonic guitar. The original bridge was stamped "Epiphone" on the back. I also ordered the metric replacement locking studs from Music City Bridge. Installation was very simple as there are some great Youtube videos on the subject. The MC bridge was dead on intonation wise. Sound wise there seems to be more sustain and less buzzes than the stock bridge. Is it a huge difference? Not huge but definitely noticeable and worth the $$.

A game changer

Bought my second bridge and again it made wonders. Totally resonant Burny junior that’s even in tune.

Savvy and locking studs

I got a new 2024 Gibson les Paul special and didn't need a bridge but decided to give the savvy a try based on the recommendation of a friend who has used them on multiple guitars. On the last string change I swapped out the stock bridge and studs with the savvy and locking studs. Setup with simple and quick and it really made a difference in the sound, playability and intonation. Highly recommended!
