Black Fixed 6 String Headless Guitar Bridge Tailpiece Roller Saddle With Worm involved string device

I made my own headless fretless guitar and I could not find a bridge for it. But I found this bridge and it worked perfectly the first time!

Pros: has adjustable tuners on the bridge that tilt upward. Includes the magnetic winder.Good for a tuning bridge if your guitar doesn't have a cut away for the tuning knobs; but I would probably opt for something else on a headless.The locking nut it arrived with is good, although for a headless install, it's heavy duty and a good piece of metal.Cons: no instructions. I got 3 out of 4 right, the first screw was a miss, and then the head broke off.I wouldn't let one bad screw ruin the whole thing, but if you are impatient, you will find this frustrating because it's like solving a puzzle to really get it working right.It seems like a piece is probably missing, or that part of this installation includes another piece in front of it. I had some extra hardware, using some square nuts and screwed them in. This keeps the tension set against the bridge, so that the screws can just press it down firm.You don't really need the screws it came with; I used shorter ones after their one broke on me.The tuning aspect of it is a 10 out of 10.Super accurate, and not too much torque. That is probably more pro than con, but the intenation is a pain because there's no way to without unwinding some.Not such a big deal, but if this was going on a headless guitar it would be too much tuning on the knobs. They are closer together and it would be too cumbersome.I still have a headstock to wind with and a separate locking nut.It's still very cumbersome to set intenation, but once set it's very firm.Then it has winding hexes that set action, one screw lifts and lowers (R), the other locks or sets a limit to how low. (Left)Once I learned what to do it was not that difficult to adjust.I would say it's worth the sixty dollar price tag, but there's more room for improvement. You would probably need to spend at least a hundred on a similar product to get a better result.This works for me as an upgrade on my squire Mustang.FYI; I typically run 11/46 gauge, my tester was 13/54. It's definitely up for the most tension that I would ever use.I hope this was helpful.Enjoy playing.

Built a custom lap steel. Made fitment and intonation a breeze

This bridge looks amazing and the way thetuning tool attaches to the side of the bridge magnetically is an amazing idea. Very pleased with this purchasr

This is absolute garbage. I didn't even use the bridge, only the headpiece because the one I preferred was discontinued. It's made from cheap metal, and wouldn't even tighten enough to keep the strings from slipping. This headpiece WILL NOT stay in tune. A slight bend of the strings pulls it completely out of tune by a mile. Plus, the face plate that rests against the end of the neck is at a 16 degree angle- not flat 90 degrees, which would result in major modification to an existing neck in order to fit properly. It seems like it's a good design (other than the weird face plate angle) if it were made from quality materials, it would probably perform great. I gave it one star only so that I could warn against this bridge/headpiece.

The screws provided are low grade steel (or maybe aluminum). The heads strip out long before you provide enough torque to seat them. Also note 1) you must remove several of the bridge assemblies to access the mounting holes and 2) tuning is by means of a little crank handle that you apply to individual wheels for each string - how long till that gets lost? Make another selection.

So far, so good.The tuner end is actually a pretty good engineering achievement that still has a few bugs - number one of which is no information on it's use - for example, the strings obviously go under the tuner rollers to get good string angle, but how to get to them takes a little bit of effort to figure out. The intonation range is good, but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't have any adjustment screws, you just loosen it, push it into place and re-tighten the screw. Similar issue on the strong height adjustment. The roller bridge doesn't actually roll, but that's not much of an issue really. OTOH, it's small, seems to lock the strings in place well, good mass and provides an excellent basis for a headless guitar. No routing is required and no weird end shape to account for tuners. I like that the little tuning wrench is magnetically installed, there's no way that a real tuner button would fit there and turning those by hand (including the big name brands) is a pain, if even possible without tools. Casting could be better and grounding the device would be easier if it was all conductive. As it is, one can find locations to attach the ground wire underneath and invisibly, but it's not obvious.The piece at the end of the neck is presumably for a particular type of neck, a more generalized top attach locknut solution would be more practical - TBH, a small brass block with six string holes pointing up towards the nut and a couple of screws to hold it to a modified headstock would be better for the typical DYIer. Reference Mera guitars for some ideas.I will definitely be coming back for more of these, especially if some of the shortcomings (hence only 4 stars) are addressed ... oh, and lose the "KD patent: thing on it, that seriously detracts from it's high tech look. I really want to build more headless guitars ... this one is for a "quickie" travel guitar prototype ... and the various other devices out there just don't really work for my designs (ie, tuners pointing out the back). Now ... if only they would make this work with a Stetsbar surface mount whammy.... ;-)

Made my own headless style guitar, this tailpiece set up was great. Works better than I expected.

Habe mir dami eine Headless-Gitarre gebaut. Die Stimmschrauben sind etwas schwergängig, aber dank der beiliegenden, magnetisch an Brücke befestigten kleinen Kurbel, kein Problem. Seiten sind sehr einfach aufzuziehen und die Stimmung hält super. Zum Befestigen der Hardware am Body NICHT die beiliegenden Schrauben verwenden! Die sind Schrott. Eine ist mir beim Eindrehen direkt abgebrochen und es war ein Kampf, das wieder zu fixen.

Acquistato per cambiare il ponte ed il capotasto ad una chitarra headless, buona fattura, prodotto arrivato nei tempi previsti, semplice da assemblare

Llegó un día después de lo que se anunciaba, pero bueno, no fue un retraso demasiado grave teniendo en cuenta que venía de la otra punta del mundo (China), aunque en teoría yo lo compraba a una tienda de UK.Estoy encantado con este dispositivo. Me he construido un instrumento a mi gusto, una especie de Mandolina o Mandoguitar de 6 cuerdas, a partir de una miniestrato de escala 3/4 (unos 50 cm) que compre a uno de mis hijos cuando era pequeño. Necesitaba que la escala fuera de unos 38 cm, y este dispositivo me ha permitido construirlo cortándole la cabeza a la mini estrato.La única dificultad importante es el sistema de anclaje de las cuerdas en el extremo del cuello. Es necesario trabajar bastante el extremo del cuello de la guitarra para que quede bien colocado en su sitio.Por lo demás el puente es un diseño bastante ingenioso y es fácil hacerle el setup de altura de las cuerdas, compensación, etc, y también mantiene bastante bien la afinación de las cuerdas sin necesidad de usar cuerdas especiales. Es suficiente que tengan bola solo en uno de los extremos.Por tanto, buen dispositivo, de construcción robusta y que aumenta las posibilidades de diseño de instrumentos.Probablemente vuelva a comprar otro para experimentar otras creaciones...

Decently made but slightly confusing to use and a lot of hassle

Man muss wissen: es kommt die blanke Hardware - nix Anleitung! Nix! Nada! Also ist Hellsichtigkeit, Tüftelsinn und Intelligenz gefragt - Tipp: Ballends an das Kopfende -Für meine eigenen Probleme kann das System nix: ich brauchte es, um an einer Billig-Kopflos-Gitarre die kaputte Brücke zu tauschen = Totalumbau, Mensur muss ich mir nu herleiten -Wenn man eine Gitarre mit definierter Brückenposition hat, ist es o.k.scheint stabil, haltbar usw. - die Erdung ist etwas .... zurückhaltend gelöst, mal sehen ....
