01 / Weight

Weight across the
full lineup.

Every part weighed against the stock component it replaces. Switch category to compare bridges, tailpieces and tuners.
02 / Finish

Seven finishes. More than silver and gold.

Anodizing colours the aluminum itself, so the palette runs well past the chrome, black and gold plated hardware is limited to.

03 / Wear

Anodized surface.
Not a plated layer.

Plated zinc carries its colour in a separate layer that can wear through where your hand rests. Anodizing has no such layer.

Anodized Aluminum

Aluminum
  • Aluminum does not rust like ferrous hardware.
  • No separate plated colour layer is sitting on top to flake away.
  • Everyday palm contact wears the anodized surface more gradually.

Plated Zinc

Zinc
  • Plating can wear first where the picking hand repeatedly contacts the bridge.
  • Once plating breaks, the zinc underneath can become visible.
  • Restoring a worn plated finish is more difficult than routine cleaning.
04 / Machining

Cut from billet.
Not poured.

Machining from solid aluminum gives us tighter control over dimensions, edges and consistency than conventional die casting.

01

Precise geometry

Post spacing, string spacing and mounting holes are cut to spec, so a swap drops in.

02

No cast shell

The body is one piece of solid aluminum, not a thin wall poured around a void.

03

Full adjustment

Saddle travel is machined into the finished part, so you keep full intonation and height range.

04

Repeatable

The same program cuts every unit, so the tenth part measures like the first.

Why not die-cast?Die casting brings wider tolerances, cast edges and draft angles, and a finish applied as a separate layer — more variation from one part to the next.
05 / Tone

Different, not better.

Less mass under the strings changes how the guitar responds. Use aluminum when you want the guitar to open up, and stay with zinc when the existing weight is part of what works.

Al
Less mass / more air

Go aluminum if

  • Your guitar sounds dark or closed-in
  • You want a more open top end
  • It’s neck-heavy on a strap
  • Your current bridge is corroding
Zn
More mass / familiar feel

Stick with zinc if

  • Your guitar is already bright or thin
  • You like the extra low-mid weight
  • Your hardware is fine as it is
06 / Questions

Before you order.

Will it fit my guitar?

Compare the post spacing, string spacing and mounting dimensions on the product page with your current hardware before ordering.

Is aluminum strong enough?

Yes. These parts are CNC-machined from solid aluminum alloy and designed for normal guitar and bass hardware loads.

My hands sweat a lot. Will this hold up better?

Anodizing has no separate plated colour layer to peel. Clean the hardware after playing to extend the finish life.

Will the colour fade?

All finishes age with use, but anodized colour is part of the aluminum surface rather than a separate plated layer.

What if I don't like it?
