Guitar Bridge 101: Types of Guitar Bridge Parts & Their Use

The first step is to figure out which bridge you already have on your guitar and what you want to accomplish with the upgrade. The first step in figuring out what you have is to consider which brand you want to replace it with. Gibson, Epiphone, and other imported guitars (Tokai, Ibanez, Burny, and so on) have somewhat different bridge measurements, requiring slightly different parts. All of these can be found at Guitar Parts as suitable replacements. Read the following guide to each component and discover what matches your instrument before settling on a bridge.

You can use one of our conversion bridge studs to convert your import model to match a USA-style bridge (such as our ABRM or Tone-Lock bridge). These studs are simple to install and, in the case of the ESWKIT, require no changes to your current setup. The E-Sert installation instructions are in video format on the FaberUSA.com website’s “Help” section.

• Faber ESWKIT – This guitar bridge stud set will fit into your existing import guitar bushings, allowing you to utilise one of our USA-style bridges without having to modify your body. It’s a straightforward “remove and replace” solution.”

• Faber E-Sert – The E-Sert range removes the tone-robbing non-steel bushings that come standard on most import guitars. You can also use our ABR and Tone-Lock model bridges with these bridge mounting posts. One pair of steel studs and a thumbwheel for action adjustment are included with the E-Sert studs. The posts that are attached to the bushings will transfer the most vibrations into the instrument and boost the guitar’s sustain.

Suppose your guitar has a one-piece wraparound bridge. In that case, Faber guitar parts also provide a tailpiece with compensated edges to aid with intonation, as well as our Wraptonate tailpiece, which is a fully inntonatable wraparound bridge.

De Gibson Les Paul Junior van Jasper heeft een mooie upgrade gekregen. Van de standaard vaste wraparound bridge nu een per snaar intoneerbare ABM brug die hij zelf heeft uitgezocht. Hij past perfect, ziet er waanzinnig uit en is inmiddels natuurlijk spot-on geintoneerd! #gibsonlespauljunior #gibsonguitars #wraparoundbridge #guitarbridge #gitaarservicedoetinchem #gitaaronderhoud #achterhoekmuziek #vanhoofguitars (bij VanHoof Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/vanhoofguitars/p/CYmPWPkMHt_/?utm_medium=tumblr

My first time setting up my @gibsonguitar #lespaulspecial in #tvyellow . Had to restring my guitar for @realstudio and I never used a guitar with a #wraparoundbridge before. I made some adjustments to set the action lower, but then I knocked the #intonation out of whack. But, I figured out how to adjust the intonation and now we're playing in tune all up and down the #fretboard. The reason I bought this guitar as #myfirst #lespaul is because of @stpband . Love the offbeat rhythm style of #deandeleo and @stprobertdeleo , and #stp influenced a lot of my songwriting. I've been listening to them since #core, and one of the small number of bands I kept listening too for almost 30 years. Dean has this guitar in his arsenal, and as a tribute to #stonetemplepilots influence on my musical life, I chose this guitar to add to my collection and I'm glad to own it. So, if you're looking for some New Christian music with influences in #90salternative #rock , make sure to go to www.mrweaverface.com to sign up for the mailing list. Can't wait for you guys to hear this glorious guitar on the #newsingles coming out. #christianartist #christianmusic #christianmusician #christianrock #christianrockmusic #gibsonlespaulspecial #gibsonlespaul #newchristianmusic #independentartist #independentmusician #rockmusic #rockmusician https://www.instagram.com/p/CSnWXozMHc8/?utm_medium=tumblr

#РемонтГитары из секондхэнда, или полная пересборка бэушной #гитары. История такова. Человек остался без гитары, а концерт был на носу. Он пошёл в #секондхэнд (да, у нас можно купить гитары в сэконде 😊) подобрал себе инструмент за смешные деньги и решил её оживить до приемлемого уровня. Закупился комплектующими в Германии через @thomann_kgd - #лады и внутренние #стреплоки от #Dunlop, #ПушПулы от #DIMarzio, #бридж #ABM 3024na #WraparoundBridge, #струны от #EmieBall и прочие мелочи. Заказал #звукосниматели у @fokinpickups (Ильи Фокина) И понеслась работа. ✓ Были вынуты лады с сохранением накладки ✓ Отполирована голова (убраны мелкие царапины от предыдущего хозяина) ✓ Были установле��ы твёрдые лады Dunlop ✓ Под новый бридж пришлось расширять посадочные места. С новым бриджем стало проще отстраивать мензуру под каждую струну. ✓ Была полностью спаяна новая электроника, появились отсечки на хамбакерах (чего не было до этого) ✓ Изготовлен #КостянойПорожек с разводкой струн для удобства регулировки анкера. ✓ #Гитара полностью отстроена и готова не только к концертам, но и к студийной записи, так как инструмент получился #ОГОНЬ 🔥🔥🔥 Данный пост является ответом к вопросу про то что «следует ли вкладываться в старые/бюджетные гитары?» если гитара удобная и нравится гитаристу, то конечно стоит. При том это не единственный случай оживления старых гитар относительно бюджетного сегмента. Вот так��я история одной гитары, которая стоила дешевле комплектующих, которые на ней заменили ☝️😎🎸 #РемонтГитар #DEmelyanov 🔥🔥И НЕ ЗАБЫВАЕМ🔥🔥 При оформлении заказа на сайте http://strunki.ru используйте промокод DEmelyanov5 и получите скидку 5% @strunki.ru 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 --- #guitarservice #guitarrepair #handmade #strunkiru #guitarporn #fretwork #ручнаяработа #шаманизм #naprawagitary #serwisgitar #Калининград #Königsberg http://DEmelyanov.ru http://vk.com/DEguitars http://fb.com/DEmelyanov (at Ремонт Гитар Demelyanov) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GwF-6pn4S/?igshid=wohwqm1ccjue

Setting The Intonation On A Faber Bridge

Guest Post – Faber USA

Intonating a guitar or bass can be a meticulous and time-consuming maintenance procedure, but the basic principles behind it are actually pretty simple.

When an instrument is properly intonated, all the open strings and every note on the fretboard sound at their correct pitches. If your guitar still sounds noticeably out of tune even after you’ve tuned the open strings, the intonation is off that is, the instrument is out of tune with itself. This effect is often slight rather than dramatic, but even slight intonation imbalances are noticeable enough to be annoying and demand adjustment.

After you’re done choosing your new Faber bridge for your guitar, you need to get started with the intonation. Faber guitar bridges being fully intonatable, the ABHR, ABRN, ABRM and Tone-Lock™ bridges intonation work almost similarly.

Step By Step Guide To Proper Intonation Of Your Faber Bridge

First, try to restring your guitar with the string gauge of your need.

In case the 12th fret is flat compared to the open string, move the saddle towards the nut and tighten the saddle adjustment screw at the bridge saddle. Slowly move the saddle towards the nut and once again the string pitch gets flat. Retune once after.

Note: When the guitar bridges saddle adjustment screw gets to the end of its seat, never force it to turn more than it freely does, which can lead to breaking the screw and damaging the saddle.

In case you have a normal Wraparound bridge, it’s not possible to set the intonation string by string basis. What you can do is, set the intonation across the overall bridge.

In case the 12th fret note is sharp, try to lengthen the string length. You can do that by tightening the “Allen key” screw and pushing the bridge away from the nut. Having only two adjustment points for Wraparound bridges, the intonation adjustment might not be similar on both E strings.

This applies if the intonation is flat on the 12th fret note. Then the guitar bridge will need to be moved closer to the nut by loosening the Allen key screws. With this, we come to almost the end of this article.

Faber does offer the Tone-Bar™ Compensated Wraparound bridge and the TPWC compensated “Lightning Bolt” style bridge making online guitar parts that you can replace on your own.

How To Find The Best Wraparound Bridge For Your Need?

Several contemporary makers offer renditions of the wraparound bridge guitar parts in designs that incorporate individually adjustable saddles. These units intend to provide the solid anchoring of the original wrap tail, with facilities for perfect intonation adjustment.

What Type of Wraparound Bridge Do You Need?

Initially, the wrap-around was a plate and did not allow for precise intonation. This idea has long been improved, whereby they now offer individual saddle adjustment. The compact design is very clever having all the components stored in a single unit. However, they do not have intonation tolerance as broad as the tune-o-matics.

Most Gibson guitars have wraparound bridges rather than the Tune-o-Matic styles. A wraparound bridge is where you pass the strings through the bridge away from the guitar and wrap them back over the top before pulling them up the neck as usual.

Below are the types of Wraparound bridges that you will find perfect for your guitar.

Faber Wraparound

If you’re a vintage fan, jump into Faber USA Wraparound bridges. They are perfect replacements for your worn-out guitar bridge and will allow you to resume the original condition of your vintage unit. Being made of aluminium, their wraparounds are lightweight and just matches the 50s vintage style.

The individual strings cannot be intonated because they are non-compensated. These guitar bridges have 2 small Allan key adjustments which move the bridge closer or further from the bridge posts to adjust the intonation across all 6 strings.
