The LB63 Bridge with String Saver saddles is a drop-in replacement for Floyd Rose Original and Licensed bridges. Our saddles have be machined out to allow us to drop in a String Saver insert that will greatly reduce or eliminate string breakage. The LB63 Bridge is an unbeatable combination of materials that will improve your guitar’s tone and performance and, ultimately, your guitar playing experience.
The tone of your guitar directly influences the way you play. Whether each note is rich in harmonic content or flat and lifeless, the sound of each note effects how you pick, strum, and phrase you’re playing.
Also, having the confidence in knowing that your strings will hold up no matter how hard you play lets you concentrate on playing and staying in the moment, not worrying if you are going to break a string. Having your guitar perform to its maximum potential lets you perform to your maximum potential.
How do they work?
A string resting on a metal saddle binds and locks the string in place. As the string vibrates, it stresses the string on a very specific point and produces metal fatigue and then string breakage. Each LB63 saddle is a steel saddle with a String Saver insert which is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth. The Teflon in String Saver saddles eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to drastically reduce string breakage.
What do they sound like?
Metal saddles have a pronounced 2 KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum. String Saver saddles have a more balanced tone, with highs, mids and big open lows.
The String Saver saddles in this bridge are made with a unique combination of materials to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage.
The LB63 Bridge with String Saver saddles comes with everything; tremolo arm, tremolo springs, claw, screws, height adjustable posts, and allen keys.
Simply replace your current Floyd Rose style bridge with the LB63 locking bridge. The bridge will fit most guitars routed for Floyd Rose Original and Licensed bridges.
