I love using these when perfect intonation is required. They look great, and the metal bridge adds a nice bite. The base can be recarved or shaved to any height required.
As did another reviewer, I got this for my Epiphone Emperor II Joe Pass model. The metal part fit right over the existing base, so I did not have to use the supplied base (which was not carved to fit nor finished to match the guitar's other trim). I had to deepen the notch for the low E string with a small file, but other than that there were no installation problems and no playability problems. Tip: Be sure to mark the position of your current bridge on the guitar top before replacement, since you'll have to remove all strings (and the bridge will fall off).
put this bridge on an old hollow body es335 style guitar ive had for years. wouldnt stay in tune. been sitting in my closet for about 15 years all apart. found this bridge at stewmac and rebuilt it now it plays sweet
Hi! First, I'd like to say thanks for the quick and safe delivery. I have played quite a lot gigs with my previous rosewood bridge, but somehow it was always out of tune a little bit.I have even tried to get a T-O-M in London, Denmark street last year, but they couldn't help me. Now I'm fine at last! Anytime I will need something in the future, I'll turn to You, I promise. Thanx a lot Katvanhoe
Well Crafted. Love it =D
I got this bridge in order to breathe some new life into a Mid Fifties Kay K-152 B Archtop guitar that I found in the garbage some time ago. The bridge was missing and the tuners were very brittle so I started with the bridge and this was fine for the project. I will be buying a set of tuners for it soon. Here is a picture of it prior to rescue.
Merci beaucoup pour votre sérieux. Matériel bien reçu et très bien emballé.

I used this bridge for a hollow body electric arch-top. Great quality and easy set up. I ended up ordering a second one for one of the home arch-top acoustic instruments using it as research bridge. A very happy surprise
Another great product guys. Looks fantastic. Very high quality!! Am currently fitting to a 1970's model Melody archtop acoustic, will post some pix when it's done.
