Signum – the iconic lockable wraparound guitar bridge

With the Schaller Signum bridge, we have designed an ergonomically shaped and lockable wraparound guitar bridge that makes playing more enjoyable. The newly developed locking studs prevent the bridge from falling down when changing strings. The screw head and locking nut ensure a firm connection to the bridge, which improves sustain. At the same time, this prevents the bridge from tilting, maintaining the string action and playing angle. The individual string saddles made of solid Pure Sound Brass are adjustable in octave purity and contribute to an excellent sound development.
