Compton Compensated Custom Bridges are made from solid Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass and Aluminum. Using solid material gives your guitar the sustain, tone and clarity you have been searching for. The concept of the solid bridge is to eliminate all the small parts that contribute to tone and sustain loss. There are several models to select from. The radius is done by CNC milling machine as are the precision placement of the bridge post holes. There is a 4mm angle milled across the top of the bridge to improve intonation. You will be very pleased with the performance increase one of these bridges will add to your Gretsch guitar. Please read the customer testimonials.

All bridges are drilled with a number 18 drill bit which is .1695 inches. They will be slotted for 10 ~ 46 gauged strings. The bridges will be highly buffed to a brilliant finish. Dimensions are 1/2 inch high at the center of radius arc, 1/2 inch thick and 3 1/2 inches wide. The solid mass of these bridges is what contributes to the tonal qualities of these bridges.
