Tuffset Bridge

[BoringPostcards]

It looks so damn good. I like the vintage stylings on the instruction manual a lot.
Great job all around. I look forward to eventually buying one of these.

How are things progressing with this? (hopefully well).

Where’s the signup for the mailing list? It’s probably more money than I can spend right now, but I’m getting parts together for a build and this might be a good bridge option.

He must be too busy to come here and announce this. So exciting! I too cannot afford to buy anything these days, but I am reading the savings for one of these.

Funny thought I just had about this...

The intonation range should be good enough for a Bass VI but will also allow the use of a regular Jaguar mute instead of needing the rare-as-hen's-teeth B6 mute.

I asked him about being able to use the regular Jaguar mute on a Bass VI with the Tuffset bridge and he wrote "Unfortunately, the Tuffset bridge is not compatible with the mute or bridge cover." I get that the bridge cover wouldn't fit, but don't know why the mute wouldn't work, and assume that would then apply to Jaguar's with a mute as well. That's something he'll hopefully clarify before they go on sale.

I wonder if it's a height from the bottom of the plate to the top of the saddle thing... Too thick for the standard foam? Thicker foam maybe?

If a VI mute fits I bet someone on here could draw one up for their Shapeways shop..

These look great, I’m in

Hello OSG friends and family!

I’m so excited to share with you that the Tuffset Bridge will be available for pre-order on the 5th of March, just one week from today.



We will be making a new post each day until then revealing some key aspects of the design, so keep your eyes locked to the Tuffset Instagram account - and this feels like a good time to thank efiug for posting the last update I forgot to add here! Cheers

Like any good book, we’re kicking off the pre-order launch with the contents - of the box, that is. Everything you need to set up the Tuffset Bridge is included:

Tuffset Bridge
Product Box with Protective Insert
18-page Fully Illustrated Tuffset Installation Guide
Tuffset Pick
Small Ball-Headed Allen Key for Saddle Adjustment (Nickel)
Large Allen Key for Post Adjustment (Black)
Two Locking Followers
Two Spare Locking Followers



If you’re on the list, come Tuesday the 5th you will receive a link to pre-order your own Tuffset Bridge with a discount code that will let you secure the bridge for a once-in-a-lifetime price.

It’s our way of saying a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to everyone on this forum who has followed this project for so long and contributed to its development. Thanks to your kindness, patience and enthusiasm, the Tuffset dream is now finally coming true - it would have been quite impossible without you!

If you can’t wait until the 5th of March to find out, the exact price and pre-order discount will be revealed on Saturday 2nd March, to coincide with the Tuffset Bridge’s public debut at The Guitar Show UK in Birmingham.

If you’re able to attend, you’ll be one of the first to play the Tuffset Bridge on our demo guitar! If you can’t make it, keep an eye on the Tuffset Instagram for exclusive content in the run up to launch, and you’ll hear from us on the 5th.

Mark your calendars:

March 2: Public Debut at the Guitar Show UK
March 5: Pre-order opens
March 31: Deadline to reserve your Tuffset Bridge from the first production run
April 20: Tuffset Bridge ships worldwide

I’ll make a post about the demo guitar here separately, it’s got some cool features that might be familiar to GuitarForm fans!

Cheers and take care!

Dan
