Six black TAN headless bridges with gold saddles on a purple ash guitar

Engineered to perform. Built to last.

Ball-bearing headless bridges, precision-machined in our own facility from aircraft-grade aluminum and solid brass. Every string tunes smooth, every time.

Meet TAN NANO

19 g per string. Sits flat on the body. Installs with just two screws.

Our innovation

No more friction. No more breakage.

On a conventional headless bridge, string tension loads the tuning thread directly. It binds, stiffens and snaps strings. TAN's ball-bearing mechanism takes that load instead.

  • Effortless tuning, every time

    Each bridge piece turns smoothly and independently, so you dial in pitch and get back to playing.

  • Built for multiscale

    Individual saddles per string give complete control over placement and scale length.

  • Any string count

    Integrated top locks mount any number of strings and mixed scales. Top locks are included.
