StewMac 8-String Hardtail Bridge

StewMac 8-String Hardtail Bridge

A familiar hardtail look for 8-string builds.

An 8-string guitar introduces a massive amount of tension and requires a wide intonation range. This bridge takes the familiar, straightforward hardtail layout and sizes it for an 8-string. The walled baseplate anchors firmly to the body, giving you a solid foundation that minimizes side-to-side movement.

Thick, heavy-gauge strings need a steep break angle to seat firmly without rattling, and this string-through-body design pulls the strings down tight over the saddles, with plenty of travel to accurately intonate all 8 strings. Each saddle is individually adjustable for height, making it easy to dial in the action and match your fingerboard radius.
