heymisterk Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 So I was guitar shopping on eBay last night and I was looking at a couple of Hamer guitars, and I noticed something I'd paid little attention to before: wrap-around tailpiece/bridges. I noticed the LP Jrs have them as well. Does anyone have an opinion on them? My SG Classic obviously has the tailpiece and the bridge, as does every electric I've ever owned. Thoughts? It seems like an efficient idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I like the stop bar and tune o matic on Gibsons.....but many do have that setup ....you can't adjust the individual saddles for intonation on a most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 There are aftermarket wrap-arounds available that have adjustable saddles similar to a tune-o-matic, and fit the large posts. I had one on my '64 Firebird III that was called a "Leo Quan Badass" bridge. Just for informational purposes, here's one with a picture from e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Leo-Quan-Badass-Style-Wraparound-Bridge-chrome_W0QQitemZ320482427983QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item4a9e3dc44f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I like the simplicity and the look of them. I'm just a hack, so intonation isn't a big deal to me. I think P 90 Les Paul Specials and Jrs look strange with the two piece bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
