FAQ

MOUNTING STYLE: 2 point vs 6 screw?

If your guitar bridge pivots on 6 wood screws (typically phillips head) then our 6 screw mount will be the a perfect fit (we only use 4 of the 6). If your bridge pivots on two "posts" then order our 2 point mounting system. We include wood screws for our 6 point and special adapters with our 2 point bridges.

TONE BLOCKS: What's the difference?

There is really no best. In fact, you can't go wrong selecting any of our tone blocks. All our blocks are machined from solid "billet" metal (no junky zinc castings here) for the ultimate in resonance, noticeable improvement in sustain and a precision fit against the bridge. We maximized the block size to fill the routed cavity. A noticeable improvement in sustain on all guitars.

Sustainium: Boosts all frequencies equally while suppressing the unwanted "ice pick" high frequencies. Excellent note-to-note separation. Lightweight and very musical sounding option- our most popular pick.

Brass: Arguably our best block for long, extended sustain. Seems to ring forever. Machined from a solid chunk of 360 alloy brass, this block delivers a warm, jazzier tone with sustain that never seems to end.

Carbon Steel: Offers a noticeable low-end boost and generates a faster attack. Machined from a bar of 1020 carbon steel, polished and then nickel plated. Bad to the bone for that soul crushing sound.

6 SCREW ON 2 POINT: Can I install a 6 screw on a 2 point?

You bet. Just pick up one our adapter kits. Most guitars are USA/MIM but the next common is Asian. Remove the posts and thread in the solid brass adapters and set the bridge on top - that it!

THIN BODY GUITARS: Why does this matter?

If you have guitar that measures 1 1/2" thick you probably need one of our shorty blocks. Typical bodies run about 1 5/8" to 1 7/8" thick so our standard block will fit perfectly and allow you replace the back cover.

HEX WRENCH SIZES: What sizes do I need?

  • Saddle Height: 0.050"
  • Intonation: 3/32"

  • Yamaha Pacifica
  • Suhr
  • PRS
  • Tokai
  • Anything that uses a vintage routing pattern!

Call us and we will let you know if we have built one.
