Guitar Bridges: Essential Components for Your Guitar Build

The right bridge shapes feel, setup, and intonation. We stock guitar bridges for electric and acoustic families—plus archtop, resonator, bass, and more—so you can match the exact spec your build needs. Choose from Tune-o-matic, Tele/Strat styles, hardtail and wraparounds, archtop and acoustic bridges, and more.

Choose the Right Guitar Tailpieces for Your Setup

A tailpiece sets string path and break-angle, influencing feel and—when paired with the right hardware—tuning stability. From stop and wraparound tailpieces to trapeze and vibrato systems (e.g., Bigsby/Vibramate), you’ll find vintage-correct and modern options. Match threads and spacing for a true drop-in: TOM/stop hardware comes in SAE and metric (ABR-1 6-32 posts; Nashville uses M5 stud/bushings; many Gotoh/stop systems are M8; some wraparounds use 5/16-24).
