What matters in use
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
Set screws clamp both parts down to their posts, so neither lifts away when all strings come off.
Detail 02
Matches imperial-spec post holes only. Metric guitars need the large-post version, and there is no adapting between them.
Detail 03
String slots are already cut, so the strings seat at correct spacing without filing on installation.
Detail 04
Softer, warmer look than chrome. It dulls and shows handling wear over time rather than staying mirror bright.
Detail 05
Tailpiece is included, so the locking works at both ends and string tension stays anchored.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Only if it uses small imperial posts. Post sizing varies by year and factory, so measure your existing post diameter and centre-to-centre spacing before ordering.
Yes. This is the full set — locking Tune-o-matic bridge plus locking stopbar tailpiece, with the studs to lock both to the body.
No. The saddles arrive notched, so the strings drop into pre-cut slots at the correct spacing.
The real gain is stability — the bridge and tailpiece stay clamped in position through string changes and hard playing, so your setup holds.
