Guyker Stainless Steel Space Control Adjustable Roller Guitar Bridge Electric Guitar Replacement, Chrome

An excellent replacement bridge for my g5230T, g6128. and Epi Wildkat, all of which use the same bridge post hole sizes! The threaded posts that entered these guitar bodies had a somewhat loose fit, but all tightened snugly after seating the bridge. At this point, I really prefer this bridge for its low cost and functional benefits, It especially provides greater tuning stability for guitars with the bigsby with no apparent chance of rattle that is frustratingly common with Gretsch adjusto-matic type bridges over many years. YT lists many such complaints about the Gretsch adjusto-matic bridges.

I walked into this with much skepticism and was fully prepared for a complete failure. But oh my god in Heaven was I wrong. Everything about this bridge is perfect. On my S Korean G5422TG: First of all, and most important - does it provide stable intonation accuracy? With a D'Addario tuner (more sensitive than a Snark) I get properly tuned. I take a deep breath, and then I begin playing. All over the fretboard. Every chord rings true. Every note. The sustain and fullness are amazing, opening this guitar to be spoken through. Palm muting is silky smooth to the palm, invoking a wide-open door to expressions left unsaid and forgotten for years. So, to the Grand Finale - Does it STAY in tune when digging-in on the Bigsby? During HOURS of continuous shimmers and dives I would frequently come up for air, and play open and bar chords, and it is if I had never touched it after tuning. How is this even possible? 10/10 stars.

Very nice quality works really good on a Hagstrom Tremar Viking Deluxe. Intonation is spot on my two Hagstroms.

Bought this to replace the TOM style stock bridge on my G5435 Pro Jet. I was a bit bummed to find it was just a bit too wide and didn’t fit my bridge posts. Ended up taking the threaded rod part and grinding off about 0.5mm to make it fit. Other than that I’m impressed for the price. The parts are nicely made and finished otherwise and after shortening the rod it installed and worked great.

I bought this and a considerably more expensive roller bridge for a Gretsch G2655T. This is the bridge that has remained on that guitar. With a set of locking Gotoh's and this bridge, my Bigby actually gets used, and will hold tuning reliably. It also looks the part without ruining any aesthetics. There's really no need to buy all of the "Bigsby fixes," for it to work as designed. Tuners, nut, and bridge are usually the culprit, not the tremolo. I was able to turn a pretty unreliable guitar into a reliable and still very pretty guitar with minimal work. Oh, and the stainless saddles do impart a bell like zing to notes that wasn't present beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend trying this one out before commissioning one of the two best known makers to make a $125 part for a $300 guitar.

Super easy to install, dial in where you need your spacing, and go! Also seemed to my ears to hold string sustain a lot nicer and smoother. Using the Bigsby, the strings roll nice on the bridge all the way through. I probably wouldn't throw it on all my guitars but I love it on the arch top.

The factory Tune a Matic bridge on my Gretsch 5420T always had an annoying, vibration type, of buzz while playing. After some research and looking for an alternative, I decided on this Guyker Space Bridge. I have to agree with the reviews that this thing is a game changer! While the kit included different sized posts for other applications, the bridge on this guitar was an easy drop in install using the guitar's existing hardware. Intonation is perfect since the bridge base is factory pinned to the body in the proper position. The vibration is not only gone, but the sound is clearer, cleaner and brighter then it ever was with the factory bridge. Totally satisfied with this product!

As the headline says, it worked great and solved my vibrato problems. I have a Gretsch Jet Club. I put a cheap unbranded Chigsby vibrato, Guyker locking tuners, a Tusq XL nut (virtually drop in) and this bridge and it works great. I tried the Wilkinson roller tune o matic and various other fixes like the BiggsFix, Vibramate with real Bigsby and it all went back...better but not the improvement I was looking for. All told, I ended up putting $70 into this guitar to put a Bigsby style vibrato on and it works every bit as well as my bandmate's $3K Gretsches, minus of course the cachet. If you suffer from tuning stability issues or are starting from scratch like me, buy this stuff. Getting vintage vibrato's to work is for intermediate to advanced tinkerers, be forewarned!

sehr schnelle Lieferung, TOP Qualität, gerne wieder!

Have a Gretch streamliner that came with cheap die-cast nickel plated bridge that just didn't work well and rattled. Thought I'd give one of these a try, stainless steel is close to Nickel in colour (kind of) and seemed to look the part. Thought maybe I might have issues with the intonation, but while it's probably not perfect I really don't notice when playing it. Haven't even bothered checking it to be honest it sounds fine. Being able to move the strings side-to-side is a bit of extra setup, but no different to a Schaller roller bridge which is 8-9x more expensive. It also gives you more options with string spacing and benefits outweigh any drawbacks at strings change time in my opinion. I haven't tried this with a tremolo, Bigsby or the like, but I'm guessing it would probably help with tuning stability compared to a traditional TOM bridge(?). Only a guess, it's a big thread so might be a bit of friction to overcome to move under string tension. Has to be better than a standard saddle though being rounded. It is made completely out of Stainless Steel - even the posts and screws (the grub screws to hold the end posts to the threaded shaft are just standard steel but they are hidden away and no biggie in my mind). Overall, I'm impressed with the bridge, good quality, gave me no problems installing/setting up and came with all the hardware, guitar sounds fantastic, is comfortable on the hands, and is a fraction of the cost of other options I was looking at.

Il ponte ha necessitato di una modifica, essendo la barra filettata delle sellette troppo corta: ho aggiunto con il saldatore 4 mm per parte di materiale per compensare. Preciso che ho usato questo space control per sostituire un wraparound Gretsch. Nel complesso il kit è completo e di alta qualità ma il lavoro è stato impegnativo e molto difficile. Risultato finale buono ed efficace

Rattles a wee bit. Not enough to make it completely unusable but just enough to make it annoying and unusable for me. Clearer highs than SS bar bridge. Not an improvement in my opinion

This is a very good replica of the Space Control bridge that Gretsch used on many of their guitars. It's a bit of a weird design, but it works. It took me no more than ten minutes to install, and it fitted over the oddly-spaced posts of my guitar's floating bridge. I didn't even take the strings off - just slackened them enough to lift the bridge over the posts. I own a Gretsch Electromatic, one of the early MIK G5120s with DeArmond pickups. It's a fantastic guitar, but it's let down really badly by the awful stock bridge. I've tried loads of different replacements - Tune-o-Matics, roller bridges, even a genuine Bigsby cast bridge. None of them really work with the Bigsby vibrato, they look wrong, and the Bigsby bridges are usually intonated for a wound third. I didn't fancy shelling out over £100 for a hand-made bar-type bridge to put on a 'reasonably-priced' guitar, but when I saw this, I had to give it a try. I'm really glad I did. It has busted a load of myths about these bridges. If you read the internet, you will see people complaining that these bridges creak and rattle, 'suck tone', cut your hands like a cheese grater, and worst of all, you can't palm mute. All utter rubbish. Total, complete tosh. Anyone saying any of those things obviously hasn't ever played a guitar with a Space Control bridge. OK, so it does look a bit odd, but on a Gretsch it looks right at home - because that's what's supposed to be on a Gretsch! Palm muting is no different from a Tune-O-Matic or similar bridge. It's actually quite a bit more comfortable, because the Space Control is rounded and smooth, unlike the pointed saddles of a TOM. The Malcolm Young signature guitar comes with a Space Control, and he had them on his own guitars. If it's rock and roll enough for AC/DC, it's good enough for me. The string grooves are deep enough that the strings don't jump out, even with the low break-angle to the Bigsby. This is good if I'm thrashing out rockabilly riffs or AC/DC rhythm. This is the only bridge I've had on this guitar which can get all the way through Riff Raff without the low E jumping out of the saddle. Now I see why Mal used them. The knurled part of the saddle wheels looks a bit medieval, but the knurling is so fine that you can't feel it. There are no sharp edges to cut you, and on the wound strings which are under your palm, the string sits higher than the sides of the wheels anyway - the main point of contact is the string, not the bridge. The bridge doesn't creak or rattle, because the threaded stainless rod down the middle is locked onto the two vertical posts with grub screws. The saddle wheels are a nicely-engineered fit onto the threaded rod, and the pitch of the thread is fine enough to give very accurate control over the string spacing. I've set mine exactly the same as the original bridge, because that's what I'm used to, but you can choose any spacing you like. The wheels don't move while I'm playing. To get them to move you have to lift the string up, so don't worry that the string spacing will adjust itself as you play. You can't intonate a Space Control bridge, as the saddle wheels don't move back and forth. This isn't actually an issue on my guitar - it intonates fine. The wheels have quite a large diameter, so the string break is soft, a bit like the top of the bar bridge of a Les Paul Junior. Or a Gretsch Rocking Bar, which also isn't intonated. Far from 'sucking tone', my guitar is much more lively than it was with the horrible, pot metal bridge it came with. That's more a reflection of how bad the old bridge was. For £13 and free delivery, this is an absolute bargain. A Gretsch-branded Space Control is around £80 if you can find one. I've ordered another one for a guitar I'm building, and I'm hoping that the seller will list gold ones, as I want to fit one to my G5422.
