What Type of Bridge Do I Need?

 

At some point, most guitar players feel the need to upgrade their guitars’ hardware. The reasons for this vary from player to player but are often rooted in tone, feel or quality.

The first step is to identify what bridge you have on your existing guitar and what you are looking to achieve with the upgrade. The first step in identifying what you have is to think about what brand you are upgrading. Gibson, Epiphone and other import guitars (Tokai, Ibanez, Burny etc.) have different measurements at the bridge so will require slightly different parts. Faber Guitar Parts carry suitable replacements for all of these. Before deciding on a bridge, read the following guide to each component and see what matches your instrument.

Bridge and Saddles

Alternatively, you could pick a replacement Faber bridge from our Tone-Lock series. The Tone-Lock range comes in the same sizing options as our ABR range but includes our exclusive “No Gap” technology. The Tone-Lock allows the bridge to be locked to the body increasing stability and transmitting more vibrations to the guitar body and increased sustain.

Tailpiece

Guitar tailpiece parts come in different configurations, depending upon your original setup. Most guitars come factory fitted with chrome or gold plated tailpieces that are often die cast from zinc or other similar metals. Zinc is considered a metal that does not react well with guitar strings, often robbing some of the hard-earned tones from your instrument. Our parts for Gibson guitars (Or our parts for Epiphone guitars) are made from aluminum. They are lightweight (The same spec as Vintage Gibson guitar parts – 1/3 the weight of a Zinc cast tailpiece) and transfer vibration differently which results in a woodier, vintage tone. Our custom guitar tailpieces are direct replacements for Gibson and Epiphone guitars.

For players seeking replacement Parts for Gibson Guitars, our TP-59 stop tailpiece will be the perfect upgrade. Made from aluminium, the TP-59 will reintroduce the tone that zinc/nickel die cast tailpieces rob a guitar of.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...
