“Stud Finder” Compensated wraparound tailpiece

Loving it.. clean and intonated.

Perfect solution. Five stars!

The "Stud Finder" Wraparound Bridge
combined with MCB Locking Studs are a Perfect Fit for my 1957 Les Paul Special !

Thank you so very much for this! My family had heard me tell of my, “one that I wish I hadn’t sold” guitars, for years. It was a ‘57 junior! Well, flash forward from 1984, to 2019, they got me a 100 year anniversary junior. It had the Gibson “compensated”, wraparound bridge. Needless to say, it was terrible. I tried a couple of tuneomatic style wraparounds, the dreaded “sitar” on the unwound strings reared its’ ugly head. Then , I saw the Bukovac video of the Music City “Stud Finder” wraparound bridge. I couldn’t get to the site fast enough! Ordered, came in the mail today, 03/22/2024, put it on, tuned up, intonated,… oh man!!! So happy, it was such an unexpected moment when my family gave me the reissue junior! I was speechless! The OEM bridge was such a let down, it made playing my gift a chore. Now , with this elegant, understated , expertly designed wraparound bridge,… I think it’s going to be hard to find me NOT playing old junior! Thank you for this , very much!

Absolutely will up your tuning and action/feeling to the point where you'll think... "why did I wait so long to do this!!!!"

Put this on a 1961 SG Special, got rid of the sitar vibe and really improves my tuning and the feeling/action of the guitar. Bought the Studs as well, looks killer, sounds excellent, rings longer!!!!

BTW... Uncle Larry is the GOAT!!!! Thanks Josh and the good folks at MCB!!!!

I recently bought a ‘58 and a ‘59 Les Paul Special and while they played well the stock bridges were inadequate. Being a Homeskooler I heard Tom Bukovac rave about the MCB Stud Finder bridge for old Gibson. If anything he was under selling the Stud Finder. I put a Stud Finder and new studs on both guitars and they are totally transformed. The tone, sustain and playability is night and day better without compromising the instrument in any way. T he inks for creating such an amazing product.

Got a Stud Finder and Locking Studs for my 73/74 Jr. Had a Quann that was ok, but did the dreaded nosedive. Installed the locking nuts and Stud Finder in no time. Strung her up and was amazed. Totally in tune/ great intonation all the way up the neck. Even improved the action and sustain. The guitar always was a beast but even more so now. Totally recommend whichever bridge works for your guitar. Thank You Music City!!

After getting turned on to this bridge from a Tom Bukovac Homeskoolin video, I decided to try one out on my 1958 Les Paul Jr.. When I bought the guitar in the 80s, it came with the OG bridge but had a Leo Quan Badass bridge installed. The Leo Quan unit was a fine solution for it's time but the Music City Bridge is to me the most evolved solution. Obviously easy to install and easy to dial in perfect intonation, the Music City Bridge has been a game changer on my Junior. The guitar rings like a bell and has much improved sustain and tonality. The staff at MCB are awesome to deal with as well!

I have been searching for the answer to lowering the action on my 53 Goldtop down to what my admittedly somewhat pooncy fingers consider to be a genuinely playable action - many avenues were explored, to the point where I was actually contemplating a neck reset. However - then I happened across Tom Bukovac discussing the Music City Bridges and it looked like I had found the answer. So I ordered the Stud Finder and matching locking studs. All of these items are beautifully made - like, bordering on works of art! A small hiccup was that the Les Paul had the infamous shallow studs, whereas the Music City studs are the more standard longer studs; five minutes with an angle grinder and file and the problem was solved. The bridge fits beautifully, sounds great, intonates perfectly and yes, the action is now down around playable level as opposed to "gee this'd be an awesome slide guitar" height. Looks like the old girl might be returning to its role of number one gigging guitar. Thanks for making a beautiful and truly functional solution to this problem.
