Looks awesome on my 2018 Fender Players Series Telecaster
11/06/2019: Fits perfectly on my Fender Telecaster, and looks great. But, keep in mind that it is only stainless steel plated over brass for the pickguard, bridge, and control plate. No it is not solid stainless steel. If you scratch it deeply, you will see the brass. Also, you seek good "intonation to be as close as possible, do not use standard round barrels that come with the bridge for the strings. Instead, buy a set of "compensated" barrels, and you will get the good intonation on all strings at 12th fret. Suggestion, set the bottom "E-A" barrel as close as you can to the back of the bridge, then the 2nd barrel (“D-G”) slightly closer to neck, then the 3rd barrel (“B-E”) slightly closer to the neck then the 2nd barrel. WARNING: Only do this with very lose floppy strings. When done, then Tune your strings and set intonation at 12th fret. If intonation is not correct DO NOT move barrels (forward or back) with tension on strings. The two little barrels adjustment screws for the height of the barrels will dig into the steel plating and you will see the brass and have deep gouged out scratched in the plating. Be patient and loosen strings a lot, then move barrels and retune. Do this over-and-over again until you get your perfect intonation. Lastly,getting string height do the same procedure. Loosen strings raise or lower barrels with the two little screws on each barrel, then retune. If you are not patient and do this, you will be very unhappy that you damaged your bridge plate with deep ugly scratches showing the brass. I know, because I was not patient, and moved the barrels with tension on the string and ruined the steel plating on the bridge, then I had to buy a second bridge and do it the right way. Over-all, I recommend this product, but be careful installing it. PS: in my photos, I have not set intonation and I did not change out the round barrel to "compensated" barrels yet. Enjoy, tgRead full review
An effective and beautiful addition to your Gibson!
This beautiful nickel-plated TP-6 tailpiece was originally invented by one of my earliest mentors, Milt Owun, master luthier, working upstairs at Barney Kessel's Music World, an iconic music store in the Hollywood of my early teens,which was a Gibson 'showcase' store of considerable renown. He also had designed TP-6 versions that were part of a 'trapeze' tailpiece assembly, but they, and other prototypes, have since disappeared. Fortunately, Norlin latched onto this one! The superbly-crafted TP-6 was standard equipment on many 1970s Gibsons during their 'experimental' era, such as the innovative L-6S, and they were optional on certain Les Pauls and ES-series electric guitars. Not only does this tailpiece let you zero-in on micro-fine tuning similar to a Floyd Rose, without bothering the 'big' tuners and dealing with friction at the nut vs. the break-over angle of the headstock, but it also adds resonant mass to the 'stud' tailpiece. This gives whatever axe you're using noticeably more natural sustain and resonance, and additionally shortens the effective string length by almost an inch,making the guitar that much easier to fret! Thanks, Milt! The Epiphone TP-6 comes with studs and metric-threaded stud screws, but, no worries; it fits perfectly on your existing Gibson SAE-threaded tailpiece studs!Read full review
Took a chance at this price, and it paid off big. Really good saddles that for me intonated as well as any 6 saddle bridge I have. And they sound great! Unless you are really close, they look like regular brass barrels. Really well done and saves a bundle over the more expensive (and likely the same) options.
If you want bright tone, using this brass material is one of solutions .If you want that your guitar is more cool than your friend’s one, changing color chrome to gold is good idea !If you want more comfortable in light weight, so sorry, I recommend to search another bridge.
A decent TP-6 for a decent price. Remember, this is not a Gibson Vintage TP-6, or even a current Gibson TP-6. But, for a less expensive guitar, it sure works great. Feels solid, tunes correctly. It absolutely brings back memories of my old 1980 ES-335 CRS.
