Schroeder Stoptail Bridge


Read 15 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Luthier Jason Shroeder designed this stylish new adjustable wraparound bridge/tailpiece. Standard 3-1/4" stud spacing makes it a direct replacement for LP Junior and PRS stoptail bridges. That cool deco "boattail speedster" shape is functional—the smoothly contoured, string-grooved top surface is a comfortable snag-free palm rest for playing. Stringing is faster, too. The solid flat underside makes front string loading easier, without scratching the guitar's finish—a great improvement over original open-bottom stoptail bridges.

The Schroeder Stoptail is a high quality bridge made in USA, crafted from lightweight aluminum for tone. It has individual stainless steel intonation screws with retainer clips and unplated brass saddles (supplied unslotted). Two 1/16" (1.59mm) Allen screws adjust overall intonation (Allen wrench included).

Mounting studs are not included. We recommend Schroeder Locking Studs for new installations.

Tip: The 11" saddle radius can be adapted to a 10" or 12" radius by filing deeper outer or inner saddle slots as needed. Jason Schroeder recommends our Understring Radius Gauges to do the job accurately.

What customers have to say
[Sent to Jason Schroeder, maker of the Schroeder Stoptail Bridge]
"I'm a part-time small shop luthier. I've been looking for a decent adjustable/intonable stoptail bridge. I found that the available models were either too heavy, made from cheap zinc, or the design was lacking in elegance. I love what you did with yours! I even went as far as looking into having something similar custom made but found it was just cost prohibitive for my small shop only putting out 10 or so guitars a year. Anyway to my surprise I was browsing StewMac's site and found yours. I ordered 3 on the spot! Got the bridges today and they are very nice! Just wanted to say thanks for offering these."
—Earl Franklin, Bellingham WA

"The Schroeder stoptail bridge has brought my guitars to a new level of playability and sonic capability, in the studio and on stage."
—Tommy Kessler, Guitarist for Blondie

Style Before Quality

I purchased this Schroeder bridge because of the look and the rave reviews posted. However, I was disappointed when the bridge was finally in my hands and so have to add my two cents. The bridge is made of aluminum (not sure of the grade) and is super light. I can not comment on the sound factor as I never installed the bridge and here is why. The intonation screws are held in place with tiny 'C' clips before the threads (not visible in the photos). The bridge I received had three of the 'C' clips installed into the threads. One of 'C' clips popped out when I turned the screw and the other two got stuck. Watch maker needle nose pliers are needed here. I returned the Schroeder and bought the Schaller model and am very satisfied with the quality, reliability and appearance.

Stoptail Bridge

I have recently received your stoptail bridge and fitted it to my PRS Soapbar II. A great product that improves the sound quality of the guitar. I am no expert but I think it's the brass saddles that make the difference to the tonal quality. One point of contact with the string at the bridge is bound to be better. Many thanks for your prompt service.
Keep up the good work there.

Best regards from an elderly blues man!

Excellent Bridge

The extra adjustment range saved my re-issue Melody Maker that has the bridge post set to close. I even had to get the next size longer set screws to push the bridge back far enough but this bridge was able to make the stretch and get all the strings intoned. I love the brass saddles for sound and the look of the bridge is also extra nice.

Form and Function

The Schroeder Chrome Stoptail Bridge added so much to my PRS style guitar kit— accurate intonation, better sustain and great style.

need to include an allen wrench with the bridge

My bridge installation was set back a day when I found I didn't have a 1/16" allen wrench. The TonePros stoptail bridges I've purchased include the appropriate size wrench (metric) with their bridges. Other than that, the bridge has better tone and is way more comfortable (better palm mutes) than my TonePros guitars. Bravo.

Cheam Peake,
Thank you for your feedback. We now include the 1/16" Allen wrench with the bridge.

Needs mounting posts

Comes without mounting posts .. not the best choice for a staggered mount but great quality
