Schaller Roller Bridge

This Schaller Roller Bridge is a very good quality bridge, it seated like a glove, stable, no snapping and it looks great.

I got this bridge to upgrade a standard tune-o-matic on an SG type kit guitar.I found the holes for the mounting studs just a fraction too narrow. A quick grind out with my Dremel quickly sorted that out.After stringing up I was pleasantly surprised to find that the intonation(apart from the A string,which was screwed in 1 turn) was spot on.A great product that with a graphite nut should help any guitar with a stable tuning platform. Highly recommended.

Great to have adjustable spacing when needed. Used it with a B5 on a 45yr old narrow-necked import. Works well and keeps in tune. Nice looking too!

I purchased this bridge to install on an Epiphone WildKat I just purchased. Knowing that the Bigsby tremolo would cause the guitar tuning to wander, I figured this was the best solution.

Installing the bridge was very easy. First remove the strings, stock bridge and stock height adjustment screws. Insert the straight knurled Schaller bushings into the threaded stock bushings far enough to be able to judge if they are square (perpendicular) to the face of the stock bushing. Using a feeler gauge set is the simple way to accomplish this. Using care and a nylon faced mallet, tap the Schaller bushings down into the stock bushings until they seat completely. Install the Schaller height adjustment screws and the bridge fits perfectly! Now you're ready to set up your intonation and action.

Thanks to Stewart-MacDonald for making these products available and thanks to Schaller for making top notch components!

This is such a nice bridge. Exact spacing for each string. Do you like the string spacing a little wider/narrower? No problem! It's a little pricey, but well worth it!

I recently built a Les Paul kit and the Bridge was slightly off center,the Schaller bridge allowed me to center the string spacing and the guitar plays great.

OK - so at first I just countersank the original Tele bridge with the Bigsby to get clearance - but that didn't work out. Too much rattle. Then, I ordered the Shaller Roller Bridge, did some slight mods to the Tele body and WOW!
The Shaller roller bridge conversion on my MIM Telecaster is done. Sounds great - action set up really easily - and the intonation was a cinch! It looks great and plays like a dream - nicely returning to pitch after a bend.

I've enclosed some pics of the process over the last 2 days.

Thanks for the awesome product!!

I've used 2 so far, and these are slowly becoming my standard non-trem bridge, along with a tailpiece. Its comfortable to play on, is nicely machined, and can't imagine using any others. For me, I never know what I'm going to make, and whatever that turns out be, I know that I have almost every kind of adjustability, except radius, but you can't have everything.

The only thing I would improve is to make one available in a 16" radius for compound radius fingerboards, but the fact that it's 14 is already cool. Overall, very classy looking, has string spacing adjustability which is great for me because I never know what I'm going to build, whether it be a standard type neck like Fender, or more of a wider shred neck like Ibanez, so this is the best option for me right now. AND, it feels awesome to play on. I ask you, who doesn't love hardware made in Germany?

Excellent metal, finish and fit. TOM's can be a pain to set up especially if your client is picky. This Bridge pleases even the most fanatical musician. No other brand of roller bridge is considered at our shop.

The huge advantage with this bridge is being able to adjust the distance between strings as well as forward and back. I have a tune o matic bridge, which is GREAT, however the distance between strings is fixed. This Schaller bridge is more versatile and will accommodate any size (width) guitar neck, any gauge strings, and yet, in my case at least, it still fit like a glove on the bridge posts! Well worth the extra expense. Yeah Stewmac!
