Strong match

Who this is for

  • Guitars built with standard small posts and imperial stud spacing
  • Players who restring often and want saddle spacing to stay put
  • Heavy-handed play where the tailpiece rattles or shifts under the strings

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Metric large-post guitars — the studs simply will not seat
  • Builds using black or gold hardware; this is nickel
  • Anyone who just needs saddles replaced, not the whole assembly

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

Locking bridge and tailpiece

Set screws clamp both parts down to their posts, so neither lifts away when all strings come off.

Detail 02

Small posts (standard/imperial)

Matches imperial-spec post holes only. Metric guitars need the large-post version, and there is no adapting between them.

Detail 03

Notched saddles

String slots are already cut, so the strings seat at correct spacing without filing on installation.

Detail 04

Nickel finish

Softer, warmer look than chrome. It dulls and shows handling wear over time rather than staying mirror bright.

Detail 05

Full set rather than bridge alone

Tailpiece is included, so the locking works at both ends and string tension stays anchored.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure post diameter and spacing first — imperial and metric parts do not interchange
  2. 02Intonation and action need resetting afterwards; plan a full setup
  3. 03Have a hex key ready and a fresh string set for the swap

Product questions

Before you decide

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

01Will this fit my Les Paul?

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.

02Does this include the tailpiece?

Yes. This is the full set — locking Tune-o-matic bridge plus locking stopbar tailpiece, with the studs to lock both to the body.

03Do I have to file the saddles?

No. The saddles arrive notched, so the strings drop into pre-cut slots at the correct spacing.

04Does locking hardware change the tone?

The real gain is stability — the bridge and tailpiece stay clamped in position through string changes and hard playing, so your setup holds.
