The Tight-End R offers an improvement over the conventional fixed bridge, delivering both play-ability and rock-solid stability. The saddles are firmly locked onto the base plate to maximize string vibration transmitted to the body. The smooth bridge surface protects the strumming hand no matter how aggressively you play. Simple saddle height and intonation adjustments ensure accurate set-up.
