Wraparound tailpiece series#
Our Tone-Bar series contains two tone bars integrated into the lightweight aluminum tailpiece which provides improved intonation, more precise tone and reduction of dead spots. If you want to retain the vintage look and feel but also have the additional piece of mind of improved intonation the Faber Tone-Bar wraparound is a perfect choice. The bridge has 2 small Allan key adjustments which move the bridge closer or further from the bridge posts to adjust the intonation across all 6 strings. They are non-compensated which means the individual strings cannot be intonated. Our wraparounds are lightweight aluminum made to the correct 50s vintage style. These bridges are the perfect replacement for your worn out wrap around or as a replacement to allow you to preserve the condition of your original vintage unit. If you have a wraparound bridge FaberUSA stocks a range of options to suit all needs.įaber USA offers a range of vintage style wraparound bridges. Wraparound bridges are most often associated with Junior style guitars (Les Paul Jr, SG Jr), but were also used on very early Gibson standards before the development of the more conventional Tune-o-Matic style. 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. Some guitars from the Gibson catalog and other Gibson inspired guitars, will have wrap around bridges rather than the more often seen Tune-o-Matic style.

Wraparound tailpiece how to#
When the vintage look is not important, we recommend the Faber® BSWKIT, as that solution offers the best increase in sustain. If you want something that still has the vintage look, but want a stud that is a little more “meaty,” the 4mm studs and thumbwheels will do the trick.
► For New Builds & Kit Guitars For new builds, we have 6-32 ABR-1 sized posts and thumbwheels, for those looking to make their guitar as close to vintage as possible.I've also used the Pigtail ToM style ones in the past but I've liked the Fabers a good bit better. I've never been able to get my hands on an ABM wraparound though. The Faber bits have become my favorites for a wraparound, all 3 styles of fixed compensation wraparounds, the ToM style one, & their locking studs to put them on. Many standard stop tailpieces I've come across seem to have a decent compensation angle to the top of them the only thing that seems to make it a bridge rather than a stop bar is the addition of adjustment screws for relative length of the 2 sides. My understanding has been that the original Gibson wraparound equipped guitars used the same plain old uncompensated stopbars & eventually added compensation curves to them before they rolled over to the "lighting" style compensated dedicated wraparound bridge parts.
