This Hosco Lightning Bar Compensated Wraparound Tailpiece is in the style found on many Gibson guitars like the Les Paul Junior, LP Special, Melody Maker, SG Junior, SG special etc.

The staggered compensation pattern improves the intonation of the strings over the plain non-compensated tailpiece (modern compensation pattern for plain/unwound G string) and in addition there are allen/hex screws behind the bridge posts that can be adjusted to move the whole bridge backwards and forwards and also slant it to add more intonation room to heavy bass strings. The bridge is supplied with 8 mm metric threaded bridge posts and body anchors/bushings and fits the standard 82 mm (3 1/4") post spacing used for wraparound tailpieces. To install on guitars with imperial threaded bridge posts (Gibson USA guitars) either use your original bridge posts or we stock imperial Gibson style tailpiece studs separately.
