About The Offset Bridge

Problems with your current bridge? You’re not alone. Since its conception in 2007, the multi-patented Offset Mastery Bridge remains the industry leader and most trusted Offset bridge in the hands of touring musicians around the globe. Luthier designed, our original Offset bridge eliminates the buzzing associated with previous saddle designs. Your strings won’t fall out of their grooves — no matter how hard you play.

All of our Offset bridge saddles are made of solid brass and we plate them with a proprietary, self-lubricating hard chrome plating not found on any other guitar bridge. Heat causes metal to expand (in this case your strings when using the vibrato), which in turn will cause tuning issues when stainless steel and plain brass saddles are used with vibrato systems. Our hard chrome plating eliminates this and is the premier engineering choice to aid in lubricity.

Plain brass is a soft alloy and will wear grooves in guitar saddles, especially ones used with vibrato units in a matter of weeks. Plain brass grooves will eventually cause the strings to bind in the saddles, which in turn will lead to buzzing and tuning issues. Our proprietary hard chrome plating creates a surface eight times harder than plain brass and allows the strings to glide smoothly across the saddle surface while retaining the acoustic properties of our solid brass saddles.

The patented non-rocking post design along with Mastery’s patented two brass saddle design has a dramatic effect on the transfer of string-to-body energy, giving your guitar much greater resonance that you’ll even hear acoustically. AND THAT’S JUST THE START. Check out our specs page to learn more, and see why veteran guitarists such as Nels Cline & Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Elvis Costello, Troy Van Leeuwen, Bill Frisell, Thurston Moore, as well as thousands of others use Mastery.
