KAISH Chrome Guitar Roller Saddle Bridge Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Roller Saddles For Epi Les Paul,SG,Dot,Bigsby Guitar with M8 Threaded Posts

Perfect fit and finish on my Gretsch G5230t. Very easy to slip right onto stock bridge stud posts without bending or pounding. Excellent replacement part for this guitar at a low price. This roller bridges fits perfectly without hassle and looks like a professional job. This inexpensive roller bridges fits perfectly on this guitar. Be aware that much more expensive roller bridges do not fit nearly as well as this Kaish roller bridge. Spending more on a similar item, sometimes 5x as much, may not fit or sound as good as this one. A bird in hand is worth 100 in the bush. It also sounds very good and the guitar continues to sound super good, with greatly improved tuning stability.

Perfect pair. Fine tuning is so handy and it looks great. The roller bridge makes the strings play and sound better.

I bought this tailpiece for a custom Les Paul-style build after seeing it priced similarly to the standard stop tailpieces. As this is a custom build, I won't be able to attest to this bridge's drop-in readiness. I have no prior experience with the TP-6 tailpiece, but am familiar with cello bridges of a similar type; what I can say is that at the lowest height and at full adjustment (that is, with the adjustment screws tightened as far as they'll go,) the string holders have enough clearance to not touch the body of your guitar, and the string holders and knobs have no grit to them and operate with ease. The range of adjustment is understandably smaller than what you'd probably see on a classical string bridge, but as a "fine" tuner, advertises itself honestly. The provided studs have a loose fit with the bolts, which will wobble unless fully tightened (or perhaps under string tension), and the fit between the tailpiece and the bolts leaves something to be desired; in my case, it left roughly ~0.45 millimeters to be desired, and the first thing I did was print out a couple of plastic spacers to remove the wiggle room (pictured), which was uniform on both bolts. The bridge now feels solidly fitted to the bolts, and I don't foresee any trouble with it's function. Whether the bridge would function (unmodified) without buzzing/rattling under string tension is beyond me. I give 3 stars to this bridge's stability only on account of it's somewhat loose mountings (the string holders themselves seem to be just fine), though it's been a while since I've worked with a higher end les paul bridge to compare. The main reason I got this bridge is aesthetics; I find the chunkier and more mechanical look to have more pizzazz than a standard les paul stop bar, and in person, the black version that I ordered has a nice consistent smoothness and shine to it with no defects or marring; on that front, I give 5 stars to this bridge, especially for the price. These will most likely be my go-to stop bar tailpieces going forward, and I think they offer a reasonable value for the money when standard stop bars can go for twice as much, and gibson's own tp-6 variant more than twice that.

This was a drop in replacement for a vintage SG and it worked well, I liked that the screws were a perfect fit so I installed in 5 minutes. I did have a couple of stiff screw on the Kaish but just added a drop of 3-1 oil and worked back and forth to make sure all the screw adjusters were easy to adjust so no problem with the adjustments and it all seems to work great the quality is higher than I expected. I had to replace a harmonica type bridge, I was having tuning problems with the original I think it was because it was getting crusty and had metal corrosion even though I kept it clean and would use graphite to lubricate the string contacts it would go out of tune after a few songs of playing, now I have had it a couple of months I think there is a big improvement! it stays in tune and I even feel a slight improvement in the sound but that might be the intonation being more stable. I was going to replace the bridge with a Kluson Harmonica Tune-O-Matic Bridge but did not want to spend $130 right now, I am very satisfied with the KAISH at this time, I also bought a metallor tune-o-matic style guitar stop bar tailpiece both were a good choice to keep my SG in looking and sounding good. I will keep the originals and may see if they can be restored in the future. Good luck and good tunes!

I'm a heavy-handed player, which means I tend to change strings when I break them, not when they wear out. At least, that used to be my story. Tune-o-matic bridges come stocked with those strange sharp triangular string saddles. So long as your string gauge is light enough to nestle into the little grooves they've filed into those saddles--and so long as no metal burrs develop--you're generally okay. But if you like heavy strings, detune, and have a rough touch... you're going to get pretty skilled at changing strings more frequently than you really need to. The rollers on this bridge replacement absolutely stop that cycle. I don't know why they aren't standard issue, but here we are. Every time I buy a guitar with a Tune-o-matic, I swap them out with roller saddles. They're just that good. Installation's a breeze, too. In my case, all I had to do was remove the stock bridge from my Explorers, and then just slip these babies onto the old pegs. Inotation actually goes smoother, too, since your strings just roll with your adjustments rather than scrape; there's no need to loosen the string completely before changing saddle position. Every few string changes (which will from here on out be done because the strings have lived their useful life--not because you broke them), remove the bridge and give it a shot of WD40 to keep the rollers turning freely. That's it. That's all the more maintenance you need to do to these. Easy-peasey, lemon-squeezy. (Speaking of lemons, be sure to oil your fretboard while you're changing strings. Your axe will thank you for it.) If the rollers do change the tone, my ears certainly haven't heard it. Palm muting feels the same, and even with very low tunings there's no rattle. It's a simple solution to Barbarian Bar Chord Syndrome, and will probably quickly pay for itself now that you're not changing strings every few days. Give it a try!

This bridge fit my brand new Silvertone 1478 perfectly, I didn't even have to replace the studs! I can now dive bomb the Bigsby if that were something I was interested in, and it'll stay in tune. The plating looks smooth and even. All in all, a quality bridge.

This would be a 5 star if the fine tuner tailpiece fit - but it doesn't. I have a ESP LTD EC-1000 Les Paul style guitar and the roller bridge is fine, just add a little lube to adjustment screws - well built and works like a charm. The tailpiece is also well built but the slots for the post won't fit so I'm out of half the kit. Do not buy this if you have a ESP or at least my model, but the kit is well built with no problems for the roller bridge. I will contact them and update if anything changes.

The produce seems well packaged and solid, with a decent looking finish color, though not as warm looking a "nickel" color as the stock hardware on my instrument. I replaced the stock bridge due mostly to an irritating rattle that came from it while strumming. The Kaish bridge looks ok. But the holes in the unit seem slightly too big, and with too much wiggle room, for it's out posts. The thing that clenched it for me was that my stock bridge/saddle unit fit better on the Kaish posts that theirs. In fact, it was perfect. But I didn't feel I could make use of that given the noise, and the fact that it already fit on the posts that were already on the instrument. Once I had the new one installed, using my guitars stock posts (as they fit about the same), there was play/still wiggle room, and the movement almost amounted to between a 1/16 of an inch and 1/32 (on the posts that came with the KAISH and my stock ones too), until I tightened the strings. Then, the unit didn't seem to want to move. So, all in all, not too bad. But definitely NOT a 5 star pc. I have it on the instrument. But I'm tempted to return it, and ask for another to see about the company's level of consistency. Positive is, the wheels don't hurt, it looks good (though the gap is visible upon close inspection), and it doesn't rattle like the stock bridge did. NOTE: I could possibly have given this product a five star review were it not for two significant flaws. 1. It fit too loosely on its own posts that came with it. 2. The posts that came with, fit the base nuts that were stock in the guitar. But they were loose as well. - I couldn't bring myself to pull all the hardware out of my guitar and risk damaging my finish only to end up with the KAISH posts which fit loosely anyway. For this, I’m seriously considering returning it, and not sure I’d recommend it.
