Guyker 6 String Saddle Headless Guitar Bridge Tailpiece With Worm Involved String Device for Headless Guitar Accessories Replacement Part W2004 Black

I used this headless bridge for a new small bodied/travel guitar build. It works great. It didn't come with instructions so I had to search YouTube to find out how to intonate and adjust the saddles. Aside from that it's given me no problems. I would definitely purchase again, and would love to see a 7-string version.

Build quality seems similar to that of other guitar bridges for headless guitar, incl those that go for a multiple of this price (ie. in the 200-250€ range).Design quality:This is perhaps the only headless bridge that you can install on a normal guitar body, as the tuning pegs face upwards. Why has noone else thought of this?Installation seems to be rather easy as the saddles are unlike many other models mounted on a steel plate.But, two shortcomings:(i) The length across which the intonation can be adjusted; it is only 4mm.(ii) The string height is adjusted by turning a wheel; that implies that any delta will also alter the distance to the nut even more (in most cases) than it would if the adjustment piece would just move up/down as it would normally. With (ii) given (i), that can get quite problematic. It would probably be a great design if the distance caused by the wheel was reverse of the distance caused by the height adjustment.Disclaimer: as of writing this review I have not actually found the time to install it yet (unrelated reasons). If anything comes up during installation or during usage I will update this review (if that is technically possible).

My harley benton headless had a couple strings that had saddle buzz on the bridge no matter what I did. I tried to file them different ways but most made it worse or the same. Never better. I think it's the break angle on the harley benton but idk. This bridge is a lot different in looks but the quality feels pretty good honestly. I wasn't sure what to expect for the price but it works great.Place the 2 E strings on the bridge so your sure in the placement. I used a peice of tape to mark the distance for intonation.The bridge sounds way better without all the buzz the harley benton had. The bridge has the little winder on the side but it's not necessary to do small tunings. It does work great for string changes though. I'm glad I tried this one and would buy again.Hope this helps someone.

Tiene un buen diseño y funciona mejor que otros puentes de este tipo, los únicos motivos para no dar 5 estrellas es que llegó rayado y uno de los tornillos que regulan la altura de las cuerdas no funcionaba, lo solucione con un tornillo más largo y espero que esto lo solucione de forma permanente. Esta guitarra está afinada en D y se puede regular la tensión de las cuerdas con los dedos sin ningún problema. Estaré actualizando mi opinión sobre este producto, el cual me parece una de las mejores opciones en este tipo de puentes aunque no estoy tan seguro de los materiales ya que un tornillo se daño sin ningún tipo de esfuerzo

Coming from "a land far away" is always a concern. But shipping worked out great. I received them (2) in a week.The Bridge is a tank solid structure that I believe will hold up for years. The design is pretty straightforward in it's simplicity and function (I've always thought regular 'right-angle' machines were a flawed design anyway). Been playing since '77 and have owned (literally a couple hundred 'guitars') and worked on everything from wrap-arounds to Floyds / Wonderbars. Recently fell in love with headless, and like designing bodies around the headless platform with short scale lengths. I like fixed better than floating (big Junior/Melodymaker fan).. so these are it for me.

I bought a Eart headless guitar and this unit came on the Eart and I love that guitar. It stays in tune and sounds great. I did not have to set the intonation so I don’t know how complicated that process could be, I used 9s and the instrument was stable at the 12th fret. The unit looks heavy duty and is very stable overall. I bought this unit to build a headless guitar of my own.

It’s a very nice design with excellent machining. My only niggle is there is not much travel up or down with the saddles. Your measurements better be correct. If they are it’s great.

Headless for less.

I love that idea that to reduce the tuning pegs on the guitar. I decided to make a compact travel electric guitar and bought this unit. I am very happy. Tuners work perfectly well and the strings hold the tune. I definitely will recommend for a travel guitars.Thanks

Ho usato questo kit per trasformare una chitarra in headless da viaggio. Il ponte è molto funzionale e la qualità e molto buona per il prezzo a cui viene venduto.

Nachdem das Produkt eines anderen Herstellers bei meinem Headless-Projekt wegen nicht haltender Gewinde durchgefallen ist, habe ich nun meinen zweiten Versuch mit diesem Set von Guyker unternommen und das funktioniert bis jetzt einwandfrei. Es ist eine schwere Qualität mit guter Wertanmutung und feinmechanisch präziser Fertigung. Das i-Tüpfelchen ist dabei die kleine Kurbel, die an der Seite der Tuner-Einheit mit einem Magneten griffbereit fixiert ist und die man zum Stimmen von oben in die Tuner-Rädchen stecken kann. Was mich bei solch mechanisch komplexen Konstruktionen immer wundert, ist die Tatsache, dass grundsätzlich keine Installations- oder Bedienungsanleitungen beigelegt sind oder wenigstens ein Link auf eine Internet-Seite. Ich habe trotz viel Gitarren-Installationserfahrung und gutem räumlichem Vorstellungsvermögen ein Weilchen gebraucht, bis ich die Funktion der unendlich vielen Mini-Schräubchen verstanden habe. Auch den Einbau muss man sorgfältig planen und dafür die Tuner-Einheit teilweise zerlegen, damit man mit den 4 Befestigungsschrauben überhaupt durch die Löcher kommt. Bis alles fertig installiert ist und alle Höhen und Längen sauber justiert sind, ist schon viel Geduld und Geschick vonnöten, aber das Ergebnis kann sich sehen und hören lassen und man hat ein stabiles und gut handhabbares Tuning-System auf der Gitarre.Ich überlege mir, ob ich vielleicht noch eine Installations- und Einstellanleitung mit Fotos verfasse, damit es andere Gitarristen etwas einfacher haben... ;-)

Seems to be the same bridge as supplied with the Jamstik Studio. Took a bit of time to ensure that it was mounted correctly. As stated in another review the head piece is not flat and has a slant like all of the others sold on Amazon. Needed some googling to find info on all of the bridge adjustments. Most are obvious apart from the height adjustment. Each one is on a cam with 2 grub screws (Allen key supplied). The left one (looking along the neck) needs to be released then turn the right one to adjust the height. Once correct tighten the left one to hold it in place. Sometimes when lowering I needed to loosen the strings as it got stuck. Took a while but once set then should never need adjusting again. The height from the bottom of the bridge to the string is adjustable at approx 10mm to 13mm which should let you know if need any riser underneath.I had to dismantle some of it to get to the mounting screws.I used this to convert my Hofner Shorty which I hated due to terrible neck dive, into a headless guitar - no more neck dive. I cut my headstock right up against the nut with minimal gap and I can still use the truss rod adjustment. I also needed a 9mm riser under the bridge to get the height correct. Some info online suggested it needed a 6mm riser - I bought a 3mm plate which I cut in half. This is when I discovered it needed another 3mm to bring up to 9mm total. I used some aluminium rings that I had removed from some old hard disks a while ago. You could probably mount it on some wood if it needs raising. Stays in tune remarkably well and guitar will now fit into a suitcase.

At time of writing I've yet to install this unit on a guitar as I'm awaiting parts to complete a build, so this is a "first impressions" review.The pack is supplied with the bridge, four bridge mounting screws, three Allen keys, headstock string clamp with four mounting holes and (oddly) two mounting screws. The photos on Amazon for this "Guyker" variant (at time of purchase) are a little misleading as they suggest the string clamp is a flat-mounted piece, whereas it's the same design as the other available variants - it has an angled end plate with a hole to access a truss rod and two additional screw holes, which means your target neck will need profiling exactly to accept the clamp and align with the truss access. It may also be impossible to achieve both on some necks. You'll certainly need to do some precision woodwork to get a perfect fit.The bridge unit itself is very solidly made, weighty, all the tuners and adjustment points seem to work smoothly enough. There are absolutely zero instructions included with it, but with a few minutes' thought and a quick YouTube search, it all clicked into place. These are the same bridges as used on the EART fixed bridge headless guitars, so that should help you in your search (try "SIX1NINE Guitars" on You Tube).The string tuner wrench is ingeniously held in place on the side by a strong neodymium magnet. Unfortunately, this magnet is mounted underneath the bridge and sits proud from the level of the baseplate by around half a millimetre. That doesn't sound much, but depending on your guitar's finish it will either mean a) the bridge will sit slightly proud at the rear when installed, or b) your finish will end up with an indentation which will be visible if you ever change over to a more conventional bridge. Sanding/grinding this back isn't really an option as the magnet material is very brittle.In the same vein, one of the Allen bolts which anchor the saddles to the baseplate is too long, and protrudes from the bottom of the baseplate by half a mm or so. That's another mark in your top finish.The saddles are bolted to the base plate in a staggered pattern to suggest some sort of assumed compensation, but in practice that means the G-saddle needs removing completely to install one of the mounting screws. I suspect this may also cause some intonation issues so it'll need careful positioning according to your scale length. It would be a good idea to slacken off all the saddles bolts and check their limits of travel before installation, otherwise you could find some strings just won't intonate.The tuning thumb wheels are spaced from the base unit by washers - on my unit, the low E's washer is thinner than the others, so it sits lower. Maybe coincidentally, it's also much stiffer in operation. The thumbwheels also seem as if they'll bite into the side of your hand if you're into palm-muting.The string clamp also has some small burrs at the ends of the string channels which will need careful filing to avoid string breakages.All-in-all, it's a decent design at a good price, which could have been excellent with a little more thought and attention to detail. It won't be for everyone, and it's certainly going to be a frustrating learning curve for the initial setup, but there is nothing else out there in the same price range so it's definitely worth a look if you're prepared to put some time in and have some reasonable woodworking and setup skills.Review will be updated once installed.
