The best replacement Wraparound Tailpiece for 1950s and 1960s original Gibsons with offset bridge studs.

Note: For modern guitars and reissues, consider the "Savvy" Compensated Wraparound Tailpiece.


The Stud Finder corrects all of the original stop bar problems.

-Extended treble-side collar and compensated top for accurate intonation.

-Offset string holes that allow strings to line up over pickup poles and fretboard correctly.

-Extended treble-side collar gives metal-on-metal contact. This means better tone, sustain and NO MORE TIPPING!

-Low profile so you can set your action as low as you want to.

-No sitar buzz!

Customer feedback: 

"In tune, great sustain, sounds amazing, It's everything you could want. " - Vince Gill

"This bridge is the result of years of frustration." -Tom Bukovac

"The improvement in intonation and playability is such a joy to discover that I can't recommend it more highly." - Robben Ford

"The Stud Finder finally gets it right! The intonation is finally right now, the strings fall on the fingerboard where they should, the tone is awesome AND it looks right to the guitar. Well done!" - Jerry McPherson

Notes:

-This bridge does not address the problems on reissue LPs, only on the original guitars.

-As Gibson used studs with a variety of diameters, installation might require replacement studs. 

-This bridge is designed for instruments with severely offset studs. If your studs are parallel or slightly offset, the Savvy will be the best fit for your guitar.   

-Our aging process seeks the mimic the patina of 60+ years of use. If you'd like your bridge to be custom-aged to match your instrument, please send a photo of your guitar to howdy@musiccitybridge.com. Custom-aged bridges are subject to a $20 up-charge.

I like it, but I’m a little scared.

My guitar tech set it up on my Les Paul Jr 1960 reissue. I think it’s as in tune as it will ever be. I have to record with that guitar in 2025. Wish the saddles moved so I could really dial it in. Not blaming your bridge, but Les Paul’s jr. tolerances are not very strict. It does sound monstrous through my Tone King Imperial though.
Thanks Music City

Not perfect, but!

Playing a left handed LP SPECIAL guitar righty caused concerns from the beginning (1969). Used a badass bridge, but didn't address strings over polepices issues. With the Wraparound Bridge newly installed I have a playable instrument. Sitaring almost completely gone.

Fixes a niggle that I suspect has sat with my 59 TV from the day it rolled off the line. I did wonder if the problem with the original tailpiece also contributed to what made these guitars sound so great. It isn’t. It may only be a 2% fix, but its the final 2 that makes up the 100.

Stud finder and locking studs did wonders for a 59 melody maker. Highly recommend!

It's perfect

This bridge and the Locking Studs fixed every tuning issue on my 1958 LP Jr. Get the studs, mine needed them because the original studs didn't fit the bridge. The guitar sounds better and is in tune. The Locking Studs help the tone, better contact, better tone. Easy to install too. If you have an old Jr, get this set up, you'll love it.
