Great guy to deal with and bargain prices for this quality hardware !
Got any experience or feedback on the half titanium half brass saddle bridge? Thnx

streethawk · January 2017

Thanks

Yes the hybridge is a corker in my opinion. Worth a try and you can always send it back or exchange if it's not for you.

Is fitting of the Tone-Lock Poles something you can do yourself?

Yes, very simple to do.

I've had a few of these from @streethawk

Top gent to deal with.

Thanks, Darren!

Here's a quick tutorial showing how easy it is to convert a Gibson with an existing abr to a locking Faber set up.

Here's Larry Corsa fitting an iNsert kit to a Nashville bridge guitar.
Much more solid than Gibson inserts and you can fit a Faber locking bridge or Faber abr on these studs:

Or even easier, use the NSWKIT!

I'll be doing my own videos soon, New Year's resolution...

Dead easy.. if i can do it... literally any blind monkey can .!

Can you please advise what would be the right compensated tail wrap bridge swap for a 50's LP Special? Thanks!

I have a single aged Faber comp wraptail in stock
http://www.amberguitar.com/tailpieces/134-compensated-wraparound-bridge-aged-nickel.html

It's recently been superseded by the ToneBar model.

@Bridgehouse is using one on his Gibson at the minute, and I've had good feedback from him.
Here's a pic he kindly sent me:

Yep - the Faber is still on my '62 DC Special and intonates really nicely. It's light - very light, and you do get a bit more break angle off the brass saddles to eliminate any hint of the sitar style buzzing from the original bridge.

I'll prob swap back to the MojoAxe when I change strings @streethawk if you want me to pass it on to someone else?

No worries - usual rules apply tho - try it, if you like it then buy one from @streethawk and pass it on

Top man Bridgehouse, pass it on at your convenience, the more testing the better!

I've just ordered in a couple of locking HYBRIDge bridges (mouthful). Half titanium saddles, half brass.
@mgaw is trying out an aged version.

Also getting a couple of HYBRIDge ToneBar wraptails, so that should be interesting.

richh · January 2017

Thanks guys - PM sent to @streethawk ;

Jack_ · January 2017

Ordered some locking studs, worth it even if only for easier string changes, hopefully more.

streethawk · January 2017

And over.

Thanks!

Howdy, Stranger!
