Adjustable Wraparound Bridge

I'm not sure where Leo Quan went, but this bridge is a very accurate reproduction of the Badass bridge of the 1970's. Gibson Les Paul Jr.'s and other Gibsons that didn't have a tune-o-matic bridge were designed when the only guitar strings available were huge flat-wounds. After Eric Clapton made it fashionable to use light-gauge strings with an un-wound third or "G" string, a lot of these guitars wouldn't play in tune with light strings, so Leo Quan invented the Badass. The Badass was made from chrome-plated brass, so the guitar sounded a lot different than it did with the stock light aluminum "wrap-around" tailpiece. This new reproduction sounds the same way. You may have to re-think your amp's tone control settings after installing one of these. You'll be able to play in tune, though.

Seems well made but is too tall to get the action low enough for my tastes on a Gibson Melody Maker V.

This bridge allowed me to finally get accurate intonation on my Epiphone Les Paul Jr. Special (already modified with the addition of a neck pickup). I use .009s on this guitar because I do a LOT of extreme bends (minor 3rd - fourth), so I had to do a little smoothing of the first string saddle to stop the breakage I was getting - small price to pay for great intonation!

Great simple bridge that will upgrade your non adjustable wrap around bridges. Good quality for the price.

I recently purchased this wraparound bridge as a replacement on a Les Paul Jr. I'm pleased with this one. No more intonation problems whatsoever and the Gold dressed this black Jr. up real nice. If you're looking to replace your old stop tail bridge with something that will get you intonated all the way up the neck, you won't go wrong with this piece or Stew-Mac. No waiting games here. Mine went straight out and was sitting on my axe in three days.
Thanks Stew-Mac. You're my first choice.

Great bridge. Everything I expected.

Had a non-adjustable bridge, put the new one on and it helped the guitar 100%. Intonation is now possible!

This is a cool little bridge. Worked great for the LP Jr I was building. A couple of things to watch out for though:

1: Careful how close to the bridge pickup you put it. I have mine too close, and it's a little difficult to feed strings through it.

2: On mine the saddles were fairly sharp, and I've broken a number of strings right across them. I filed them a bit and threw some pencil lead dust in there...seems to help so far.

3: The post are the width of a tailpiece, and not a tune-o-matic, so if your body is drilled for a tune-o-matic bridge like mine was, be prepared to do some hole filling.

With its original bridge, my Ibanez ARX 500 had serious problems with tuning. I installed the Wraparoud Bridge and I solved the problem and is improvied well the sustain. Only negative is that in Italy customs fees are quite high.

I bought this to fix a Maestro/Gibson Mini-V, which had misplaced bridge posts. The threaded posts have the same pitch as the sockets on the Mini-V, but I had reduce the diameter of posts where the bridge sits because the fit was too tight. This was also a problem with the original bridge as well. The radius is a pretty good match without modification and at the lowest setting for the bridge the action is pretty good as well. This bridge is definitely not a high quality item, but it offers smoking value for the $$. Inexpensive. Effective.
