My wife says I have enough guitars. (Of course, she is sorely mistaken). She has forbade me from buying any more. So instead, I have to build new guitars. Fortunately, I have the tools to do this.Watch this space for pictures of my planned project - a small bodied headless version of a Gibson SG. (I have a Traveler Guitar EC-1 which I love and use often, and this will probably replace it.)At first look, it appears this hardware is well designed and manufactured to tight specs. The appearance is nice and the tuning machines feel smooth. I plan on using a 13 gauge string, but the tuning machines are rather small. I might have to get a lighter gauge. Stand by for update.Now next first world problem; I want hotter tubes for my EVH 5150...

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.

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!

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...

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.

Never mind the NUT is clearly in the picture and measurement spec are given for the nut ... it is NOT included in the kit and mentioned in the description. I've read my share of poorly translated instructions and figured it was a mistake. I like the piece and will probably keep it ... just be aware if you need both the nut will NOT be in the box. It was also sold as new and well it was not. I will contact the seller and update this accordingly after I get an answer.

Fantastic idea. Fairly poor execution. The tuning machine for the top E string is very loose and wobbles around when trying to tune. The nut seems to be a strange angle that was VERY hard to fit, but eventually worked. The bridge only has screws on the front and wanted to lift in the rear. Unfortunately I did a lot of custom fitting to make this work and it’s here to stay. No way to adjust action. interested in replacement parts for the tuning bridge if available from the manufacturer.
