Satin Nickel

The Studio carries the same nickel plating as the Standard, left in a natural satin finish rather than polished to a mirror. It reads soft and low-sheen, which suits relic'd and vintage-style builds and stays understated on everything else. Under the finish it is the same billet 6061 bar and string-locking design as the rest of the line.

The Steadfast Stopbar™ is the world's first string-locking tailpiece. The string is strung in reverse, held at the tuning post and locked at the bar under a set screw, so it never winds around the post. Removing that winding is what takes up to 75% off a restring.

Locked at the bar, the string holds pitch as you tune and through bends and hard playing. The Studio is a direct drop-in on two-stud, top-mount guitars, with no routing or modification.
