“Graph Tech is all about improving the playing experience,” says company founder and president Dave Dunwoodie. “When players hear the tonal connection our ResoMax Archtop Bridge provides to the strings and body of the guitar—as well as the increased volume, articulation, and resonance—it will be hard to go back to a conventional bridge.”
Crafted under high heat and pressure from 100-percent organic polymers, the Archtop Bridge ensures that every nuance of a prized archtop’s gorgeous sound is delivered with high-definition resolution. It’s almost as if your archtop tone was processed with an immersive technology such as Dolby Atmos. On the other hand, wood bridges can produce erratic variations in sound due to dead spots, inconsistent density and other factors—no matter whether the bridge is constructed from rosewood, ebony, or generic woods.
To guarantee a solid foundation to any archtop model, the Graph Tech Archtop Bridge has flexible legs that conform to the top of the guitar. Two heights are available—standard and ultra-low—to guarantee the right fit for an archtop’s neck angle, and gold or nickel thumbwheels allow players to dial in just the right action for their playing style. The Archtop Bridge is fully compensated for precise and accurate intonation.
Installing a Graph Tech Archtop Bridge is easy, and it’s an upgrade designed to give archtop players big, open tones with rich harmonics. MSRP: $49.95
