This bridge and stud set is finished in Aged Nickel.

The ultimate replacement wraparound bridge for original 1950s Gibson guitars through 1960 that feature the historically misaligned bridge stud layout. For later Gibson models, please see the Savvy Wraparound Bridge.

 

The Stud Finder addresses all of the shortcomings of the original stopbar design:

• Provides accurate intonation across all strings
• Corrects string alignment over the pickup pole pieces for improved tone and response
• Enhances sustain and overall tonal performance while correcting bridge angle issues
• Low-profile design allows for very low action settings
• Eliminates unwanted "sitar-like" buzzing

 

Important Notes

• This bridge is designed specifically for original vintage Gibson guitars and is not intended to correct bridge-placement issues found on Les Paul reissues.
• Because Gibson used several bridge stud diameters during the 1950s, installation may require replacement studs depending on the instrument.

 

MCB Locking Studs

MCB Locking Studs are designed to work with virtually any bridge or stopbar tailpiece. They are the perfect companion to the Stud Finder bridge and are compatible with most wraparound bridge systems.

Their unique two-piece design allows the bridge to lock securely to the studs, helping to improve action stability, eliminate bridge movement, and prevent unwanted metallic vibrations or "sitaring."

Unlike conventional locking studs, MCB Locking Studs preserve the appearance of traditional vintage hardware while providing a precise mechanical connection. The lower section is machined with a recessed cavity that receives the upper stud body, creating a secure lock between the two components.

Included adjustment tools make it easy to fine-tune both action and the locking mechanism.
