RETROSPEC is proud to release vintage-correct strat saddles, made in the correct materials to exacting specs, right down to accurate tooling marks. Available as a set of 6, and also as part of our complete bridge assembly.

Introducing a first of its kind: the RETROSPEC offset tailpiece stud set.
A specially engineered offset stud allows your tailpiece to sit at the correct vintage angle, on the plane between your volume knobs.

Vintage enthusiasts have bemoaned the “straight” tailpiece for years. Some have gone so far as to perform irreversible work, plugging and redrilling the hole in the correct location.

Now, for the first time, vintage enthusiasts can simply screw in our offset stud set and achieve a vintage correct look without expensive work and permanent modifications. Offset stud set includes one traditional stud and one offset stud, finished either New Old Stock or Lightly Aged.

Achieve the sought-after vintage-correct tailpiece angle the easy way!

RETROSPEC is excited to launch it’s newest product: vintage-correct steel tailpiece studs!

Made from nickel-plated steel, our new tailpiece studs are available in both Vintage and Historic lengths, for a perfect fit. Available either NOS or aged to vintage perfection.
