String spread is the distance between the centers of the outer strings on a bridge or tailpiece. Saddle radius determines the arc formed by all the individual saddle heights, and is similar to the measurement of a fretboard. Post spacing is the distance between the centers of the mounting posts of a bridge or 'stop' tailpiece.

 

	String spread	Saddle radius	Post spacing	Post threads
Bridge	2-1/16"	12"	2-29/32"	M8 x 1.25
Tailpiece	2-1/16"	n/a	3-1/4"	M8 x 1.25

Manufactured in cooperation with Tonepros Sound Labs, the SuperBridge combines the lock-down stability of the TonePros bridge with the lubricating properties of String Saver saddles.

The String Saver saddles in this bridge are made with a unique combination of materials to enhance tone and dramatically reduce string breakage.

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 String Saver™ saddle is impregnated with Teflon, the slipperiest substance on earth. The Teflon in String Savers eases the grip between the saddle and string, spreading the stress over a greater portion of the string, just enough to dramatically reduce string breakage.

What do they sound like? Metal saddles have a pronounced 2 KHz treble spike that dominates the tonal spectrum. String Savers have a more balanced tone, with sizzling highs and big open lows.

Our SuperBridge is available in the two most common post sizes of 4mm (Gibson style) and 6mm (most imports) with the most common Nashville style Tune-O-Matic post spacing of 74.42mm. The inner post holes in the bridge are tapered to be forgiving to minor discrepancies in your guitar's factory post installation.
