This is a direct replacement for Stop Bars with an 82mm spacing. This part is milled one piece at a time on a CNC from a single billett of Bell Brass and then hand polished and Stone Ages Nickel plated to a very high standard and then gently aged by us and burnished to a dull shine.

Almost all other Stop Bars are die cast in zinc or aluminium because it was the only way to produce complex shapes back in the day, no CNC's in the 50's.  What no one realized was that a die casting is a terrible material for use in guitar bridges and is virtually incapable of promoting harmonic overtones relying on the power of the pickups to do all the work. This solid Bell Brass unit gives your strings a very solid anchor point and so allows them to ring freely which adds to great tone.

There is also an Aluminium unit in our web shop which of course is lighter and has a different tonal range with a bit more "air" not better just diffrent.

The unit comes complete with studs and press in bushings which of course you do not need if you are upgrading an exsisting guitar.  The unit comes as standard with UDA threaded posts, if you have an Aisian guitar or need M8 thread studs plese select them from the menu below.

• 1 Stop Bar Tailpiece Stone Aged Nickel
