Super easy to install, dial in where you need your spacing, and go! Also seemed to my ears to hold string sustain a lot nicer and smoother. Using the Bigsby, the strings roll nice on the bridge all the way through. I probably wouldn't throw it on all my guitars but I love it on the arch top.

This bridge is excellent for adjusting string spacing but not the best for individual string height or intonation. However, since it’s a replica of the original Gretsch Space-Control bridge, these limitations aren’t a problem. On my guitar, the bridge set up well intonation-wise, and matched my fretboard radius, so I had no issues. The Guyker bridge is well-made, and the extra posts and thumbwheels that come with it are convenient too. I'd use it on other high-quality guitars and would choose it over the Gretsch without hesitation. For the price, it’s a great deal - just be aware of the original design flaws it copies.

Il ponte ha necessitato di una modifica, essendo la barra filettata delle sellette troppo corta: ho aggiunto con il saldatore 4 mm per parte di materiale per compensare. Preciso che ho usato questo space control per sostituire un wraparound Gretsch. Nel complesso il kit è completo e di alta qualità ma il lavoro è stato impegnativo e molto difficile. Risultato finale buono ed efficace

sehr schnelle Lieferung, TOP Qualität, gerne wieder!

Have a Gretch streamliner that came with cheap die-cast nickel plated bridge that just didn't work well and rattled. Thought I'd give one of these a try, stainless steel is close to Nickel in colour (kind of) and seemed to look the part. Thought maybe I might have issues with the intonation, but while it's probably not perfect I really don't notice when playing it. Haven't even bothered checking it to be honest it sounds fine. Being able to move the strings side-to-side is a bit of extra setup, but no different to a Schaller roller bridge which is 8-9x more expensive. It also gives you more options with string spacing and benefits outweigh any drawbacks at strings change time in my opinion. I haven't tried this with a tremolo, Bigsby or the like, but I'm guessing it would probably help with tuning stability compared to a traditional TOM bridge(?). Only a guess, it's a big thread so might be a bit of friction to overcome to move under string tension. Has to be better than a standard saddle though being rounded.It is made completely out of Stainless Steel - even the posts and screws (the grub screws to hold the end posts to the threaded shaft are just standard steel but they are hidden away and no biggie in my mind).Overall, I'm impressed with the bridge, good quality, gave me no problems installing/setting up and came with all the hardware, guitar sounds fantastic, is comfortable on the hands, and is a fraction of the cost of other options I was looking at.

This is a very good replica of the Space Control bridge that Gretsch used on many of their guitars. It's a bit of a weird design, but it works. It took me no more than ten minutes to install, and it fitted over the oddly-spaced posts of my guitar's floating bridge. I didn't even take the strings off - just slackened them enough to lift the bridge over the posts.I own a Gretsch Electromatic, one of the early MIK G5120s with DeArmond pickups. It's a fantastic guitar, but it's let down really badly by the awful stock bridge. I've tried loads of different replacements - Tune-o-Matics, roller bridges, even a genuine Bigsby cast bridge. None of them really work with the Bigsby vibrato, they look wrong, and the Bigsby bridges are usually intonated for a wound third.I didn't fancy shelling out over £100 for a hand-made bar-type bridge to put on a 'reasonably-priced' guitar, but when I saw this, I had to give it a try.I'm really glad I did. It has busted a load of myths about these bridges. If you read the internet, you will see people complaining that these bridges creak and rattle, 'suck tone', cut your hands like a cheese grater, and worst of all, you can't palm mute. All utter rubbish. Total, complete tosh. Anyone saying any of those things obviously hasn't ever played a guitar with a Space Control bridge.OK, so it does look a bit odd, but on a Gretsch it looks right at home - because that's what's supposed to be on a Gretsch! Palm muting is no different from a Tune-O-Matic or similar bridge. It's actually quite a bit more comfortable, because the Space Control is rounded and smooth, unlike the pointed saddles of a TOM. The Malcolm Young signature guitar comes with a Space Control, and he had them on his own guitars. If it's rock and roll enough for AC/DC, it's good enough for me.The string grooves are deep enough that the strings don't jump out, even with the low break-angle to the Bigsby. This is good if I'm thrashing out rockabilly riffs or AC/DC rhythm. This is the only bridge I've had on this guitar which can get all the way through Riff Raff without the low E jumping out of the saddle. Now I see why Mal used them. The knurled part of the saddle wheels looks a bit medieval, but the knurling is so fine that you can't feel it. There are no sharp edges to cut you, and on the wound strings which are under your palm, the string sits higher than the sides of the wheels anyway - the main point of contact is the string, not the bridge.The bridge doesn't creak or rattle, because the threaded stainless rod down the middle is locked onto the two vertical posts with grub screws. The saddle wheels are a nicely-engineered fit onto the threaded rod, and the pitch of the thread is fine enough to give very accurate control over the string spacing. I've set mine exactly the same as the original bridge, because that's what I'm used to, but you can choose any spacing you like. The wheels don't move while I'm playing. To get them to move you have to lift the string up, so don't worry that the string spacing will adjust itself as you play.You can't intonate a Space Control bridge, as the saddle wheels don't move back and forth. This isn't actually an issue on my guitar - it intonates fine. The wheels have quite a large diameter, so the string break is soft, a bit like the top of the bar bridge of a Les Paul Junior. Or a Gretsch Rocking Bar, which also isn't intonated.Far from 'sucking tone', my guitar is much more lively than it was with the horrible, pot metal bridge it came with. That's more a reflection of how bad the old bridge was.For £13 and free delivery, this is an absolute bargain. A Gretsch-branded Space Control is around £80 if you can find one. I've ordered another one for a guitar I'm building, and I'm hoping that the seller will list gold ones, as I want to fit one to my G5422.
