ToneProsMetric Locking Tune-o-matic/Tailpiece Set (large posts) Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece set in gold, metric sizing with large posts. For owners of import Les Paul-style guitars who want the hardware to stay put.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitars whose bridge shifts or falls off during string changes
- Import guitars with metric posts needing a gold hardware upgrade
- Players who drop-tune often and reseat the bridge constantly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with imperial-sized posts and holes
- Anyone needing a Bigsby or wraparound tailpiece setup
- Players wanting a tonal change rather than mechanical stability
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 02
.436 inch post diameter
This is the large-post variant. Measure your existing posts before ordering; the small-post version will not seat correctly.
Detail 03
.250 inch hole diameter
The bushing hole in your body must match. Reaming or plugging a mismatched hole is a luthier job.
Detail 04
2.913 inch hole-to-hole
Post spacing on the bridge. Your body's existing post holes must line up at this distance or the set will not drop in.
Detail 05
Locking design
Set screws clamp the bridge and tailpiece to their studs, so nothing lifts or rolls when strings come off.
Detail 06
.421 inch bridge height
Determines how much saddle height range you get. Very low or very high action setups may still need post adjustment.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure post diameter, hole diameter and hole spacing before ordering — sizes are not interchangeable
- 02Strings must come off to install; budget a fresh set
- 03Intonation and action need resetting after the swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Epiphone?
Only if the posts measure .436 inch and the body holes .250 inch, with 2.913 inch spacing. Metric hardware is common on imports, but measure yours — TonePros makes several sizes.
02Does it come with the studs?
This is the bridge and tailpiece set with matching hardware. Confirm your post sizes match the metric large-post spec listed.
03Will this change my tone?
It is a mechanical fix. A locked-down bridge sits more consistently against the body, but do not buy it expecting a different sound.
04Can I install it myself?
Yes, if your measurements match. Remove strings, swap the parts, lock the set screws, then reset action and intonation.
