Installing, adjusting, and replacing Tune-o-matic guitar bridges and 'stop' tailpieces is daily work in busy guitar shops.
The StewMac Tune-o-Medic Post Tool is a handy installation and replacement helper. When Tune-o-matic bridge posts are bent, the bridge leans and intonation suffers. It becomes hard to turn the thumbwheels to set the bridge height, and the threaded posts may even be uncomfortable against the player's hand. The Post Tool makes it easy to remove, install or straighten these posts.
Interchangeable threaded brass inserts (6-32 thread for Gibson, and M4 x.70 thread for imports) snap into the Post Tool's handle. Simply thread the tool onto the post until it's flush against the thumbwheel, tighten the wheel against the tool, and hold the two together to turn the post for installation, removal, or height adjustment.
Instructions are included — we also include matching drill bits for correctly reinstalling the posts in new holes when needed.
