Bridges for Gibson and Gibson-Style Guitars

"Stud Finder" Wraparound Bridge for 1953 - 1960 Gibsons by Music City Bridge

Music City Bridge's "Stud Finder" is the best replacement compensated wraparound bridge for 1950s and 1960s original Gibsons with offset bridge studs. It corrects all of the original stop bar problems. Adjustment wrench included.

The Stud Finder features:

  • Extended treble-side collar and compensated top for accurate intonation.
  • Offset string holes that allow strings to line up over pickup poles and fretboard correctly.
  • Extended treble-side collar gives metal-on-metal contact. This means better tone, sustain and NO MORE TIPPING!
  • Low profile so you can set your action as low as you want to.
  • No sitar buzz!

Important Note:

  • This bridge only addresses the problems on original Gibsons, not on reissue LPs.
  • Because Gibson used studs with a variety of diameters, installation might require replacement studs.

Artist feedback:

"In tune, great sustain, sounds amazing, It's everything you could want. " - Vince Gill

"The improvement in intonation and playability is such a joy to discover that I can't recommend it more highly." - Robben Ford

"The Stud Finder finally gets it right! The intonation is finally right now, the strings fall on the fingerboard where they should, the tone is awesome AND it looks right to the guitar. Well done!" - Jerry McPherson

Music City Bridge Locking Studs

Designed to work with virtually any wraparound bridge or stop tailpiece.

MCB Locking Studs pair perfectly with their Savvy or Stud Finder bridges, and will also work with virtually any wraparound bridge or stop tailpiece.

These locking studs feature a separate top and bottom section that allow you to fasten the studs tightly to your bridge, which can improve action, remove tipping, and eliminate sitarring.

The totally unique design of these studs preserves the look of traditional studs but allows for a perfect fit with your bridge. The lower section of the stud is recessed to receive the barrel of the upper stud, creating a seal between the two pieces.

The MCB Locking Studs include two adjustment tools to make it easy to change action and tighten the locking section.

If you need metric studs we offer TonePros Locking Studs with metric threads.
