TIGHT-TUNE
BRIDGE
The Tight-Tune bridge achieves the optimum level of stability and sound transference while suppressing
unnecessary vibrations by allowing each movable part of the bridge to be locked. The bridge has a stud
lock function for fi xing the bridge more securely onto the body. Furthermore, the tailpiece is equipped
with a ball-end lock function to retain the ball end so that it will not come off.

possible to adjust the height of individual strings. After completing
the adjustment, tighten the locking nuts.
