Musiclily Fixed Hardtail Bridge For 6 String Guitar, Black

I really like these bridges, if looking for a flat mount, effective but simple bridge. The range of intonation adjustment is huge. The finish is clean and smooth. It has good weight to it; solid. Requires string-through body mounting (and ferrules on the back). Have bought 3 by this review.

Hard to find a direct replacement for my Schecter. This fit perfectly. The screw head on one of the intonation adjustment screws stripped out. So, fitment was perfect, quality is just so so.

This is a very nice bridge. Mine was in perfect condition. It’s heavy and nicely rounded and polished. I decided to try this bridge because I tend to rest the heel of my hand on the bridge and the OEM strat bridges, both trem and hardtail, are sharp and uncomfortable. This bridge is smooth and rounded and very solid.

I see misunderstanding in the reviews as to the best use of this bridge. First, this is a “hardtail” bridge, not a tremolo bridge. It is not a direct replacement for a tremolo bridge. Replacing a trem with a hardtail requires woodworking knowledge as you have to fill the trem routes front and back and redrill the mounting holes. There are several procedures to turn a trem into a fixed bridge if that’s your aim.

This is also not a direct replacement for a standard Fender hardtail bridge. It’s slightly wider side to side and slightly slimmer top to bottom. This will work wonderfully on a standard strat, but you will have to widen the gap for the bridge on the pickguard. It will install then, but there will be a larger gap between the bottom of the pickguard and the top of the bridge, so it will not look as tidy when you’re done.

This bridge is ideal for any sort of flat topped, non-angled-neck guitar that is rear routed where there’s no pickguard and everything is mounted from the back directly in the wood rather than on the pickguard, like a dinkie or frankenstein style.

Someone says they used this to replace the bridge on an SG. I’d love to know how that turned out.

This is a good, inexpensive bridge that gets the job done. I did not have any issues getting proper intonation on the guitar project build that I put this on.

However, during the process of intonating the guitar I *did* come across a couple things that I thought other prospective buyers should be aware of.

#1: There is some slight pitting/finish flaws on the bridge I received. The picture I’ve included doesn’t show it very well, but you might notice a finish abberation on the top side, right half of the out-of-focus low E saddle. For me, this is a very minor issue but it might matter more to another buyer.

#2: The saddle adjustment screws are recessed into the body of the bridge, which makes them hard to access with a screwdriver, unless your screwdriver shaft is very long, or you don’t care about marring your guitar’s finish.

#3: The saddle adjustment screws are soft metal. Combine that with the difficulty in getting a screwdriver straight on to the screw head, and the fact that once a screwdriver is on the head it’s impossible to see, and you have a recipe for stripped screws.

FOR WHAT IT IS, it’s a decent bridge. But if you’re budget-minded like I was for my project, you can get a bent steel bridge plate-style bridge from Wilkinson (block saddles) or Fender (bent steel saddles) for just a few bucks more.

its got some heft to ie. so it don’t feel like it will complain about the sting tension.
it has a cool soap dish kinda look to it. I don’t like making double sided cut guitars. too much room for making expensive firewood. so i do what i’m good at….cutting corners.

I will be buying the chrome version next for my next masterpiece.

ferrules, 250K pot and Fender T & B extender, three way switch, strings (Rev Willies Mexican lottery .07-.38), vintage style locking tuners with imitation ivory heads….ALL BOUGHT FROM AMAZON.CA

Se ajusta perfectamente a mi guitarra, encaja perfectamente,igual que si fuera el de serie. Falta ver que tal aguanta el paso del tiempo pero por ahora encantado
