Warning: I received 3 Guyker strat Tremelo bridge assemblies for three different client guitars because they had roller string guides on the blocks and the clients thought they were cool. The price was decent. It looked like they were good quality, but when I installed them, the three wound lower guitar strings kept popping and were dead almost immediately. Come to find out the string installation holes drilled in the bottom of the brass trem blocks were drilled way too deep and the double winding near the eyelet were sticking out of the bridge plate, causing windings to pop and unwind, and immediately killing and deadening the strings ON ALL 3 GUITARS!. I went through five sets of strings before I figured this out. Guyker would not fix the problem by warrantying and replacing the defective brass blocks, I could only return them to Amazon because Guyker said that their official Amazon factory supplied store, setup and run by Guyker, was a "third-party vendor" which is not true. The factory set it up "Guyker official" and supplies the inventory. so buyer beware. This also indicates that there is a lot more defective Guyker product (GG-2001) sitting on the shelf, waiting to be shipped out! MusicLily Kaish and Wilkinson are much better suppliers, and they actually stand behind their products. See what a defective brass tremolo block looks like in the photos below:
Great. Fitted my Gretsch CVT bass perfectly.
Installation was easy, direct fit on my MIM PBass, easy adjustment, intonation is perfect, string sustain and tone have improved over stock bridge, beautiful looking with high quality material used in its design, good weight and balance.
I used this bridge on a custom Axis style guitar build. It was a challenging build because of the relation of the neck pocket and TOM bridge required me to recess the mounting posts into the body to get string heights and break angles correct. I initially tried to use guyker fine tuning tail piece but ended up with the GS002 wrap over tailpiece. I did have to modify the under side of the underside of the GMA-009b to make the bridge sot as close to flush with the body as possible. In the end I am really happy with the result because I was able to adjust the saddles to match the 14” neck radis while maintaining a very low string action. I wish I knew what the GMA-009b black finish was so I could touch up where I shaved it down on the bottom.
I was not happy with the gibson 490 T's in my les paul. I swapped them out with these amazing and hot Guykers. What a difference. I highly recommend these pickups.
This thing works wonders, have been a dream to use and setup. Only bad thing is i needed stiffer springs wich thankfully guyker has aswell.
Pros:
- Direct replacement fit for EspF200 LoPro Floyd bridge.
- Came loaded with 12" radius plate, but includes multiple others and putting the 14" was easy.
- Saddles and finetuners feel solid.
- Once setup, the tuning stability and sustain were perfect.
- The screws for locking the strings to the saddles work great.
Cons:
- Mine came with a missing saddle on the nut within the sealed packing, QA error. Still, comms with CS was timelly and they shipped a complete new nut for free(that's a Pro).
- As other reviews, the Dropped feature disables that string fine-tuning the standard position. I ended up leaving the dropped engaged full time.
- Main upgrade need: I use a Dropped A tunning with .13 to .64 string gauge, the low A .64 string is way too thick in the ball-end winding section and doesnt fit in the saddle, I did have to cut the ballend and lock it like a regular FR, so ball-end cutting is still needed for thick string users.
The pivot screw for the de-tuner must bear the string tension. After about 10 tests, the screw pulled out of the baseplate, ruining both the screw and the baseplate.
I purchased the GK-07SP locking tuners for my Jackson JS32-7 DKA HT, and I'm really impressed with the product. They offer excellent value for the price, with solid build quality and a practical design. They’re a great upgrade for anyone looking to improve their guitar tuning stability without spending a fortune.
Overall, these locking tuners are an affordable, worthwhile upgrade that deliver great bang for your buck. Highly recommended!
Easy to install and adjust. I’m impressed by the fine machining. Only issue is that the edges are sharp. I had to file corners down as to not scratch my index finger.
I am more than happy. These knobs look prestige, feel good and look spectacular on my Cort Rithimic Jeff Berlin signature 4 string bass ! Thanks.
One of the treble side pegs had a small malformation so every string i installed, snapped. I contacted them and they sent me another one completely free!
Absolutely recommend this tuners and will consider them for any further proyects and customers
The Guyker Telecaster bridge is nicely priced, sturdy and attractive. My only reservation is that it needs to include a miniature screwdriver to be compatible with a Bigsby tremolo.
Installed this on a Gretsch Streamliner CVT to replace the stock “lightning bolt” tailpiece. Works perfectly and looks great, but the bridge and saddles are both adjusted pretty far back to intonate properly. If I were to redesign it, I’d make the whole tailpiece a bit longer (maybe 0.5” tops) to give the saddles more travel distance.
The pick up rings are of high-quality and fit my template perfectly. I would buy them again.
I just installed this top wrap stop bar on my 87 Gibson BB King Lucille and it slides into place easily while the ability to lock it in position is a great feature! Reduced the break angle from 35° to 28° which is perfect for me. The string guides are definitely a plus! The A string guide is just a bit off but that's due to the bridge itself.
Perfect in every way except the spacing of my holes was just too tight. It was okay as I cranked down with a ratchet wrench and didn't damage anything, even if it is VERY tight and obviously floats off the body. After truss adjustment on my Fenderbird it is perfectly intonated and much more playable unlike the stock 3 points. It's a bass not a guitar, it won't care about screw strain after settling!
Maybe ill use a tool in future to shave the metal but it's perfect as it is for the money. Cheers guykers!!!
They are beautiful, well made and dropped right in no issues.
IF YOU INTEND TO BUY THIS BRIDGE, I INSIST YOU INSTALL IT STRING-THROUGH!
I will start by saying that I fully respect Guyker, and I have many parts made by them on all my guitars, including bridges. However, this bridge's design is unfortunately very flawed for one specific application (top loading). The screws are placed too far towards the middle of the bridge instead of the back. There are no lateral walls to steady the back block from which the strings start (when being top loaded). The screws will thus start to act as a pivot point. In time, the string pull (11 gauge strings, not baritone or bass VI) will bend the bridge and mess with the intonation and string action. I have had this bridge for less than a year. You can see in the side photo with the red line the result of less that a year of being under tension, top loaded.
The bridge in this photo, upon arriving had all of its height adjusting screws immediately seize up after 2 turns in the saddles but Guyker were incredibly professional at that time and sent me a replacement bridge. I hope the seized screw problem is resolved. The funny thing is that the replacement bridge is now mounted on another guitar set for string through mounting, not top loading - there are absolutely no warping issues with that one, it could easily get 5 stars.
I have no idea how I finally managed to extract the seized screws from this black one and I decided to use it on another guitar instead of throwing it away. Had I thrown it away, I now wouldn't have anything to write here and alert about the top-loaded warping issue.
However, all this being said, this bridge mounted for string-through is a SUPERB piece of hardware, it is light, small and low profile. The screws must be first taken out, oiled with vaseline (i also mix it with carbon powder) and then screwed back in. The paint coating on my batch was not conductive, as can be seen by the scraping in the photos, however I am not bothered by it as it is well known that even big name brand bridges suffer from this.
If you get the black version, the set screws will bite into the paint on the plate and chip it, but this can be fixed with some black marker. All the coated bridges suffer from this, not just Guyker.
For first time builders and modders: this bridge will absolutely NOT fit your standard tele/strat screw holes or string through holes! You will have to measure and estimate holes before you buy. This bridge not fitting your guitar is not the manufacturer's fault!
So i will repeat myself: IF YOU INTEND TO BUY THIS BRIDGE, I INSIST YOU INSTALL IT FOR STRING-THROUGH MOUNTING!
This looking tubers are awesome and beautifuls
really great stainless steel bridge, easy to install, great look, great price, look amazing on my epiphone
really great bridge for my epiphone , easy to install and easy to tune, stainless steel metal, and great look, 5 stars
Great product. Fit my new emg pots perfectly.
The quality of the bridge is very high. I used it on a Rickenbacker copy guitar and it fit perfectly and really helped me to intonate it properly. It would be nice if you also sold a cover plate for it like on Rickenbacker guitars. It would also be cool if you could sell a pre slotted version of the 12 string bridge.
Looks amazing, no buzz from the pick ups either
