• Types Of Bridges

Introduction

• Some guitars from the Gibson catalog and other
  Gibson inspired guitars, will have wrap around
  bridges rather than the more often seen
  Tune-o-Matic style. A wraparound bridge is where
  you pass the strings through the bridge away from
  the guitar and wrap them back over the top before
  pulling them up the neck as usual.

Wraparound Bridges

• Wraparound bridges are most often associated with
  Junior style guitars (Les Paul Jr, SG Jr), but
  were also used on very early Gibson standards
  before the development of the more conventional
  Tune-o-Matic style.
• If you have a wrap around bridge Faber USA stock
  a range of options to suit all needs

Faber Wraparound

• Faber USA offers a range of vintage style
  wraparound bridges. These bridges are the perfect
  replacement for your worn out wrap around or as a
  replacement to allow you to preserve the
  condition of your original vintage unit. Our
  wraparounds are lightweight aluminum made to the
  correct 50s vintage style. They are
  non-compensated which means the individual
  strings cannot be intonated.

Faber Tone-Bar Compensated Wraparound

• If you want to retain the vintage look and feel
  but also have the additional piece of mind of
  improved intonation the Faber Tone-Bar wraparound
  is a perfect choice. Our Tone-Bar series contains
  two tone bars integrated into the lightweight
  aluminum tailpiece which provides improved
  intonation, more precise tone and reduction of
  dead spots. As standard, the Tone-Bar uses two
  brass tone bars. We also offer out HYBRIDge
  option, which uses a brass bar for the plain
  G-B-E strings and a titanium bar for the wound
  E-A-D strings, providing a perfect balance of
  brightness and warmth.

Faber TPWC Compensated Wraparound

• The Faber TPWC Compensated bridge has the
  familiar lightning bolt design in lightweight
  aluminum, for those seeking passive compensation
  in a more traditional, vintage look.

Faber Wraptonate Wraparound

• The most comprehensive replacement for a
  wraparound style bridge is our Wraptonate bridge.
  The Wraptonate bridge offers fully adjustable
  saddles for each string. It has the practicality
  of a wraparound bridge and the adjustability of a
  tune-o-matic. The Wraptonate allows users to get
  the perfect intonation for each string and will
  provide an overall improvement to any wraparound
  equipped bridge.

Conclusion

• Wraparound bridges clearly have very limited
  intonation adjustment facilities, but a workable
  compromise between all strings can usually be
  achieved. As crude as its design is, many players
  are still big fans of this bridge for its
  admirable sustain, resonance, and overall
  simplicity.
