Description

Edit description

The Hipshot 6-String Tone-A-Matic Notched Guitar Bridge with Tailpiece is the ultimate upgrade for guitarists seeking precision and performance. This bridge is meticulously crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring unparalleled sustain and tone. Whether you're a touring musician or a hobbyist, this bridge is designed to retrofit seamlessly into your Gibson® Nashville or Epiphone® style tune-o-matic setup, offering a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition.

At the heart of the Tone-A-Matic is its unique stainless steel saddle design, which acts as a second-class lever. This ingenious feature eliminates the pesky saddle rattle, effectively channeling string energy into your playing for a richer, more resonant sound. The bridge plate's forward and backward adjustability, combined with secure locking set screws, provides over half an inch of intonation range, accommodating even the heaviest of strings with ease.

What sets this bridge apart is its thoughtful engineering. The stop bar remains firmly in place thanks to small magnetic inserts, ensuring stability even without string pressure. Moreover, all posts are easily adjustable with a 1/8" hex key, eliminating the need for cumbersome tools and preventing damage to your instrument.

For new installations, the metric version includes press inserts, while the Nashville version comes with compatible studs, making it a perfect match for your existing Gibson® hardware.

projectguitar.com

Hipshot's Tone-A-Matic Guitar Bridge/Stoptail offers a fresh take on the classic Gibson two-piece bridge setup, effectively addressing common issues with traditional TOM systems. Its precision-milled high-grade alloy construction ensures durability and aesthetic appeal, with a design reminiscent of vintage Japanese instruments. The bridge's unique saddle design enhances sound by optimizing string energy transfer, while its comprehensive retrofit kit simplifies installation. Hipshot's attention to detail, like the retention magnets in the stoptail, showcases a commitment to quality. Though the market is competitive, the Tone-A-Matic stands out for its engineering excellence and practical features, making it a smart buy for discerning musicians.
