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
That's it. They're awesome.
I build and repair guitars and recently completed a Traditional Jazzmaster with Ash and finished it with Texas Tea, a les Paul with dirty lemon and the other was a thinline with a sunburst finish. Went with a gold and black look and the black and gold brass knobs work great
An excellent vibrato system, very well made, nothing to complain about. Incredible for the price!
I purchased the red colored GBA-505 CNC bridge. Really looks cool on my red Squire P/J Bass. Wanted to “pimp” it and think that this bridge really did the trick. At the beginning when intimating the strings, I ran into a problem. The drilled holes weren’t deep enough for the screws. There was room left, which you could tell when moving the saddle pieces with your fingers. Still, I had reached as far back as I was able to do. I had come to the end of the drilled hole. I changed strings and came to the exact same problem, but this time the saddle pieces were too short. I guess with another choice of strings you might have better success. If I make a comparison to the Fender Himass bridge I replaced, the Fender bridge was constructed with the holes drilled all the way through the saddle pieces, thus making intonation way much easier. If this was a question of appearance I would have given 5 stars, but it has to do what it’s supposed to do, right?!
4 solid stars sir this bridge. Looks great, the block is bigger than the last I had in the guitar and between the tuners and this, the guitar stays in tune. Now, it’s missing a star because the rolled steel doesn’t have a notch for the strings so when I’m bending strings, the string moves and I can hear it. Next, palm muting: I have found the right spot to get the best out of palm muting yet. Partly because the saddle adjustment screws dig into my hand if I’m really jamming. Next bridge
I buy will be something that the screws can’t get to my hand. Otherwise, I like the look.
It was great the product was great. What's not great is being asked 10 times to make this review. Fuck reviews. Fuck you
Nice look - however I did notice the cable jack sits at a more steep angle out from the guitar and causes the cable to interfere with wammy bar.
I can't believe it costs so little for what it does. Great bridge. Was installed on a Gretsch G5655TG that has a Bigsby B70 Bridge. Being a TG, the guitar is gold. The bridge is a slightly different colour gold than the rest of the hardware but as Canadian Luthier, Ted Woodford, says, you're always going to get this with gold hardware. The original posts are 4mm, the Guyker is 4.2mm I believe so the locking grub screws are perfect for this (I kept the original post/thumb screws from the Gretsch). Heads up, the rollers naturally sit higher than the original trem did so you'll need to wind the thumb screws down a bit. The bridge was just about 100% perfectly intonated from factory which is amazing, and a fairly long wailing session on the Bigsby and the bridge proves itself to be a vast improvement.
