Hipshot Hardtail Bridge

Very high quality. Space is narrower than Fender bridge, perfect.

The Hipshot bridge proved to be a direct replacemnet for my MIM Telecaster bridge. No muss, no fuss, just removed the original bridge and replaced with the hipshot, everything lined up perfectly. Greatly improved the tone. Completely changed the sound of the guitar from a weak tinny sound to a full bodied tonal spectrum. Excellant upgrade for my Tele.

Excellent quality! Often install on my isntruments.
The wish, add to the catalog bridge for 7 strings.

I've been using these bridges for many years, it just does not get any better than a Hipshot bridge - period

This is a very good quality bridge. Easy to disassemble for install with enough screw lengh for proper intonation. BUT it has one problem I didnt realize until I played my guitar, the saddles have very sharp corners. This is only a problem for the outer most saddles (low/high E strings). If you palm mute your strings like I love to do, these sharp corners will imediately be felt. It's an easy fix with a small file and some fine grit sandpaper. But I can't help wonder why Hipshot hasn't fixed this problem during production...they should.

great quality product but this is not, as advertised, 2 1/16" spacing, it is exactly 2 1/8". StewMac has agreed to refund me in full. what a wonderful, professional company!

I think the Hipshot 3550 bridge that I got from you is a well built but slightly under-engineered. Case in point, the leading edges of the saddles are quite sharp which is a concern to me as I finger pick quite a bit and dampen the strings with the outer palm of my hand to get that thump thump effect. The sharp front edges of the string saddles should be softened by rounding them off to make the bridge more hand-friendly; especially at the price range. Other wise it's a solid piece of equipment. Thanks, Lennis Hyett.

Build like a tank, solid and heavy. Perfect for string through guitar projects. Chrome plating looks nice and durable.

Everybody knows that Hufschmid Guitars enjoys Hipshot products. That's because they offer the best hardware out there!

I wish that you guys at stewmac could also offer their tuning machines which are also the very best.

Great fixed bridge for through body.
