Gave my Gretsch that old school look and works fine!

Works perfect on my Artist Samick HJ-650. Intonation is adjustable by slightly turning the individual string wheels left or right. Brings out slight more sustain and rings out musicality.

Super easy to install, dial in where you need your spacing, and go! Also seemed to my ears to hold string sustain a lot nicer and smoother. Using the Bigsby, the strings roll nice on the bridge all the way through. I probably wouldn't throw it on all my guitars but I love it on the arch top.

As the headline says, it worked great and solved my vibrato problems. I have a Gretsch Jet Club. I put a cheap unbranded Chigsby vibrato, Guyker locking tuners, a Tusq XL nut (virtually drop in) and this bridge and it works great. I tried the Wilkinson roller tune o matic and various other fixes like the BiggsFix, Vibramate with real Bigsby and it all went back...better but not the improvement I was looking for. All told, I ended up putting $70 into this guitar to put a Bigsby style vibrato on and it works every bit as well as my bandmate's $3K Gretsches, minus of course the cachet. If you suffer from tuning stability issues or are starting from scratch like me, buy this stuff. Getting vintage vibrato's to work is for intermediate to advanced tinkerers, be forewarned!

Fatal flaw with this instrument is that after exiting the string thru grommets, the strings rest upon the back of the bridge before contacting the adjustment tabs.This kills all sustain.This gem solved the problem and now the sustain is crazy. The rollers are sized so that you get a 12-14 radius.I did have to modify the bridge so that it would fit in the slightly narrower post separation. No problem, just remove the end caps with the provided allen key to ensure the screws don't fall out and then run the end over a flat file to remove material. Go slowly and test for fit before replacing and tightening end caps. You can use the old bridge for initial string spacing.Threaded Nashville style posts are included if you go that way.All in all a versatile, worthwhile product that can find a home on lots of guitars.Hopefully the 'tubers and IYV will notice this flaw in their otherwise fine guitar.

Surprisingly good quality.

Having a bridge is essential, but having one with super easy string width adjustment to make it match your playing preference is a game changer!

Afstand tussen de snaren blijft niet stabiel

I bought this and a considerably more expensive roller bridge for a Gretsch G2655T. This is the bridge that has remained on that guitar. With a set of locking Gotoh's and this bridge, my Bigby actually gets used, and will hold tuning reliably. It also looks the part without ruining any aesthetics. There's really no need to buy all of the "Bigsby fixes," for it to work as designed. Tuners, nut, and bridge are usually the culprit, not the tremolo. I was able to turn a pretty unreliable guitar into a reliable and still very pretty guitar with minimal work. Oh, and the stainless saddles do impart a bell like zing to notes that wasn't present beforehand. Overall, I highly recommend trying this one out before commissioning one of the two best known makers to make a $125 part for a $300 guitar.

Have a Gretch streamliner that came with cheap die-cast nickel plated bridge that just didn't work well and rattled. Thought I'd give one of these a try, stainless steel is close to Nickel in colour (kind of) and seemed to look the part. Thought maybe I might have issues with the intonation, but while it's probably not perfect I really don't notice when playing it. Haven't even bothered checking it to be honest it sounds fine. Being able to move the strings side-to-side is a bit of extra setup, but no different to a Schaller roller bridge which is 8-9x more expensive. It also gives you more options with string spacing and benefits outweigh any drawbacks at strings change time in my opinion. I haven't tried this with a tremolo, Bigsby or the like, but I'm guessing it would probably help with tuning stability compared to a traditional TOM bridge(?). Only a guess, it's a big thread so might be a bit of friction to overcome to move under string tension. Has to be better than a standard saddle though being rounded.It is made completely out of Stainless Steel - even the posts and screws (the grub screws to hold the end posts to the threaded shaft are just standard steel but they are hidden away and no biggie in my mind).Overall, I'm impressed with the bridge, good quality, gave me no problems installing/setting up and came with all the hardware, guitar sounds fantastic, is comfortable on the hands, and is a fraction of the cost of other options I was looking at.

This is a very good replica of the Space Control bridge that Gretsch used on many of their guitars. It's a bit of a weird design, but it works. It took me no more than ten minutes to install, and it fitted over the oddly-spaced posts of my guitar's floating bridge. I didn't even take the strings off - just slackened them enough to lift the bridge over the posts.I own a Gretsch Electromatic, one of the early MIK G5120s with DeArmond pickups. It's a fantastic guitar, but it's let down really badly by the awful stock bridge. I've tried loads of different replacements - Tune-o-Matics, roller bridges, even a genuine Bigsby cast bridge. None of them really work with the Bigsby vibrato, they look wrong, and the Bigsby bridges are usually intonated for a wound third.I didn't fancy shelling out over £100 for a hand-made bar-type bridge to put on a 'reasonably-priced' guitar, but when I saw this, I had to give it a try.I'm really glad I did. It has busted a load of myths about these bridges. If you read the internet, you will see people complaining that these bridges creak and rattle, 'suck tone', cut your hands like a cheese grater, and worst of all, you can't palm mute. All utter rubbish. Total, complete tosh. Anyone saying any of those things obviously hasn't ever played a guitar with a Space Control bridge.OK, so it does look a bit odd, but on a Gretsch it looks right at home - because that's what's supposed to be on a Gretsch! Palm muting is no different from a Tune-O-Matic or similar bridge. It's actually quite a bit more comfortable, because the Space Control is rounded and smooth, unlike the pointed saddles of a TOM. The Malcolm Young signature guitar comes with a Space Control, and he had them on his own guitars. If it's rock and roll enough for AC/DC, it's good enough for me.The string grooves are deep enough that the strings don't jump out, even with the low break-angle to the Bigsby. This is good if I'm thrashing out rockabilly riffs or AC/DC rhythm. This is the only bridge I've had on this guitar which can get all the way through Riff Raff without the low E jumping out of the saddle. Now I see why Mal used them. The knurled part of the saddle wheels looks a bit medieval, but the knurling is so fine that you can't feel it. There are no sharp edges to cut you, and on the wound strings which are under your palm, the string sits higher than the sides of the wheels anyway - the main point of contact is the string, not the bridge.The bridge doesn't creak or rattle, because the threaded stainless rod down the middle is locked onto the two vertical posts with grub screws. The saddle wheels are a nicely-engineered fit onto the threaded rod, and the pitch of the thread is fine enough to give very accurate control over the string spacing. I've set mine exactly the same as the original bridge, because that's what I'm used to, but you can choose any spacing you like. The wheels don't move while I'm playing. To get them to move you have to lift the string up, so don't worry that the string spacing will adjust itself as you play.You can't intonate a Space Control bridge, as the saddle wheels don't move back and forth. This isn't actually an issue on my guitar - it intonates fine. The wheels have quite a large diameter, so the string break is soft, a bit like the top of the bar bridge of a Les Paul Junior. Or a Gretsch Rocking Bar, which also isn't intonated.Far from 'sucking tone', my guitar is much more lively than it was with the horrible, pot metal bridge it came with. That's more a reflection of how bad the old bridge was.For £13 and free delivery, this is an absolute bargain. A Gretsch-branded Space Control is around £80 if you can find one. I've ordered another one for a guitar I'm building, and I'm hoping that the seller will list gold ones, as I want to fit one to my G5422.

Easiest bridge I've ever used. It sacrifices adjustable intenation, but that's not an issue on my guitar. It works well and feels nice. The only issue I noticed was a bit of string ringing behind the bridge (my guitar has a Jazzmaster style tremolo so the strings stretch from it to this bridge), but that is easily fixed by weaving some a bit of cloth or similar material through the strings behind the bridge.
