Introducing the Stud Finder ! This is the best replacement Wraparound Tailpiece for 1950's and 1960's original Gibsons with the offset bridge studs.
The original stop bar tailpieces on these vintage guitars have
5 major problems:
-The treble stud is too far forward. This means that in order to intonate correctly you have to tighten the treble-side hex screw almost all the way, and intonation is still imperfect.
-The amount you have to adjust the bridge to compensate for intonation causes the strings to not line up over the pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
-Since the treble-side precariously balances on the hex screw it is prone to tipping, throwing your guitar completely out of tune.
-The high profile of the original bridge limits how low you can set your action.
-The original bridge was prone to “sitaring.” The strings would vibrate against the bridge creating an annoying buzz.
The Stud Finder corrects all of these problems!
-Extended treble-side collar and compensated top for accurate intonation.
-Offset string holes that allow strings to line up over pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
-Extended treble-side collar gives metal-on-metal contact. This means better tone and sustain and NO MORE TIPPING!
-Low profile so you can set your action as low as you want to.
-No sitar buzz!
Here’s what some Stud Finder users have to say!
