Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Locking Tune-o-matic bridge only, in nickel, for small-post guitars. Half the price of the full set if your tailpiece is already fine.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a worn or shifting bridge while keeping the stock tailpiece
  • Nickel-hardware guitars where chrome would look too bright
  • Budget-minded upgrades that only need the bridge locked down

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone who also wants the tailpiece locked — buy the set instead
  • Large-post guitars, which need a different stud diameter
  • Players expecting chrome's brighter shine; nickel reads warmer and softer

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Bridge only

No tailpiece in the box. Your existing stopbar stays, and it will still lift when the strings come off.

Detail 02

Locking design

Set screws clamp the bridge to its posts, so it can't tip forward or slide during a string change.

Detail 03

Small posts

Matches the narrower stud standard only. Measure your existing posts; large-post guitars need the other size.

Detail 04

Notched saddles

String slots are pre-cut, so spacing is set and strings hold position instead of migrating under bends.

Detail 05

Nickel finish

Slightly warmer and less mirror-like than chrome. Blends with vintage-style nickel tuners and pickup covers.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Tailpiece is not included — check whether yours is the actual problem before buying
  2. 02Verify small post diameter on your guitar first; wrong size will not seat
  3. 03Intonation needs resetting after the swap; budget for a setup

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with the tailpiece?

No. This is the bridge alone. The matching bridge-and-tailpiece sets are sold separately in chrome and gold if you want both parts locked.

02Can I use it with my existing stopbar?

Yes, as long as your guitar uses small-diameter posts. The stock tailpiece stays where it is, though it won't be locked down.

03Is nickel the same as chrome?

No. Nickel is a warmer, slightly duller silver; chrome is brighter and more mirrored. Pick whichever matches your tuners and pickup covers.

04Will this fix a bridge that keeps falling off?

Yes, that's the point. Once the set screws are tightened the bridge is fixed to its posts and stays put with the strings completely slack.
