Don't let a fussy bridge railroad your build towards a narrow, temperamental setup window. The client wants to hear your choices - your philosophy - in the completed instrument. That's why they came to you.
Why Tuffset
Most offset hardware holds the saddles through string pressure — so your choices on break angle and string gauge aren't entirely free. Go too light or too shallow, and a non-locking bridge starts to lose its grip.
- String gauge is the player's choice, not the hardware's demand
- Clear and solid tonal foundation that lets your choices shine through
- No screws left loose, no flimsy springs to rattle
- Break angle becomes a design decision, not a tuning stability constraint
- The setup that leaves your bench is the setup that stays
A Tuffset bridge holds its saddles mechanically, not by leeching off your string tension:

Who is this for
- Professional luthiers building offset-style guitars (Jazzmaster, Jaguar, Mustang-style, custom offset designs)
- Guitar techs sick of walking the offset guitar setup tightrope
- Builders interested in early access to the Tuffset System ahead of public launch
How to apply

What builders & luthiers have to say
"I love the parts you make and they add much to my guitars"
"It's just my favourite bridge. Everything on that bridge locks down. Once it's all set and locked in, it's not moving and you're not going to hear any rattling."
"It's the real deal. I love it. It's just worked - it's the one I've had the least grief intonating. No matter how much I abuse the vibrato arm, it returns back to baseline. Every time."
"You have done something very special here... I stopped building my offset model a few years ago because I was not happy with any of the available options at the time. Tuffset is the best improvement from the original design to date, so I may just continue doing them now."
"Incredibly happy with this one! It's super resonant and loud. I absolutely love the Tuffset Bridge!"
