verhoevenc Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Will a T-O-M bridge EVER have larger posts than the stop bar that accompanies it's posts? IE: the posts fromt he stop bar shoudl NOT fit in the holes for the TOM's posts, especially with wiggle room yes? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Why not give us some pictures or something to work with. The question itself is a bit confusing. There are all different kinds of bridges and stoptails, although the two almost never have the same type of stud. A stoptail has a stud that it slides onto from the front or back(ordinarily), and a tom has studs that it sits on top of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGuy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 i think he means the size of the bushing (knurled part that presses into the guitar). In the pine guitar I did, the bushing for the posts were exactly the same size for the stop tail piece and the tom. But that was a korean made so that may not apply to others.

Southpa Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) That all depends on what brand of those items you are using. Stewmac sells a Gotoh TOM/tailpiece combo with the same sized studs but generally bridge posts/studs are much smaller than that of most tailpieces. There is great info at Stewmac regarding your question. Lots of the items for sale have the specs , ie. detailed diagrams w/ dimensions, provided.
