Customer Reviews
Great experience...quick-easy to deal with. Bridge is perfect. Thank you again!
This was the first experience I have had with a wrap around tailpiece/bridge. The original "lightning bridge" was pulled back quite a bit on both the bass and treble with the bass side being pulled back more than 50% of the engagement to the stud. This caused the tailpiece to have a lot of forward tilt on the OEM studs. I installed the Music City tailpiece and their locking studs. The engagement to the studs is much better with the Music City tailpiece and there is no tilt with the locking studs. This is a very nice set up.
1961 Les Paul Jr - The Savvy sounds great and looks great.

Used in my 23 les paul special with MCB lockingstuds, intonation is now almost perfect, sustain is clearly better and no sitaring anymore. Small investment, huge improvement.
Game changer for wrap-around bridge. Sounds great and intonation is perfect.
If you want your Gibson with a wraparound to stay in tune and sound great, that's the way to go!
Great product excellent service
I purchased the Savy Bridge and locking studs to install on a '72 Gibson SG-1 I was gifted. The guitar is so resonant acoustically and intonates beautifully. I highly recommend this Bridge and I plan on getting another one for my Les Paul Junior. Thanks for making such a great product!
Took a minute to get the new posts adjusted correctly but got it worked out. Sounds great unplugged now too! Thanks Uncle Larry and all the guys in the shop. Well done!!
I installed the Savvy on a Les Paul Special that had slight intonation issues. Happy to say the Savvy brought the intonation pretty close to perfect (but not quite perfect) on my guitar, and the aged nickel finish gave an instant vintage vibe, so 4+ stars for the bridge. I also installed the MCB locking studs along with the Savvy and found them slightly problematic. They do work as advertised but, a tad less simply than expected. First the required adjustment tools for the studs could easily slip and damage the guitars finish so take your time and perhaps slide a rag or thin protective sheet under where you are working. I found I had to use the tool to hold the stud still when tightening the screw to lock in the bridge, or the stud would turn when you tried to lock the bridge down and throw off your string height. This process was something where a 3rd hand would help. It took me a couple of tries to get the strings set just above where they would buzz and get the bridge locked down but once done adjustments are likely to be rare so not a major issue. Over all, I'm very happy with the look and performance of the Savvy and the MCB studs. This guitar has amazing sustain and if anything, the Savvy/MCB studs only added to that trait.
