Strong match

Who this is for

  • Guitars where the bridge lifts or falls off during string changes
  • Players who break strings at the bridge saddle
  • Hardtail-style setups wanting no bridge rattle

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Guitars with post spacing other than 74mm
  • Necks with a fretboard radius far from 12 inch
  • Players on a tight budget replacing a working bridge

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

2.92 inch (74mm) post spacing

The single measurement that decides fit. Measure center to center on your existing bridge posts before buying.

Detail 02

M8x1.25 post threads

Metric thread. Your existing bushings must accept this thread or you need to change the bushings too.

Detail 03

12 inch saddle radius

Saddle heights are preset to a 12 inch arc. Matches most Les Paul style necks; flatter or rounder boards need individual saddle adjustment.

Detail 04

String Saver saddles

Graphite-loaded saddles reduce friction at the string break point, which is where strings usually snap.

Detail 05

Auto Lock

The bridge stays seated on the posts, so it will not drop off or shift when you take all the strings off.

Detail 06

2-1/16 inch (52.4mm) string spread

Distance from low E to high E at the bridge. Should line up with your neck's spacing at the last fret.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your post spacing center to center — 74mm is not universal
  2. 02Bridge only; posts, bushings and tailpiece are not included
  3. 03Expect to reset intonation and action after installing

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my Les Paul?

It fits guitars built around 74mm post spacing with M8x1.25 threads. Measure your existing posts center to center rather than assuming, since spacing varies by maker and era.

02What does Auto Lock actually do?

It keeps the bridge locked to its posts. You can remove all strings without the bridge shifting or falling off, so your intonation settings survive a string change.

03Do the saddles really stop string breakage?

The String Saver material lowers friction where the string bends over the saddle, which is the most common break point on this bridge style. It reduces breakage rather than eliminating it.

04Does it come with posts?

No. This is the bridge with saddles. You reuse your existing posts and bushings, which need M8x1.25 threads at 74mm spacing.
