Grüezi,

Hat jemand von euch Künstlern eine Tone o matic Bridge auf seiner Pizzaschaufel und wäre gewillt, etwas über ihren wahren Gehalt zu erzählen?

Das sind nicht die üblichen TUUUne o matics von Gotoh, Schaller etc. sondern die mit den kleinen Löchern in den Saitenreitern, erhältlich in Alu, Titan etc. und sollen laut Hersteller den Klang einer Gitarre aufwerten.

Vielen Dank und Gruss Christian

The Tone-O-Matic  is used by guitarists including:
Brian Setzer, John Jorgenson, Scotty Morris, Elliot Easton, Buck Page and Bob Bain

What is the Tone-O-Matic?
The Tone-O-Matic is a revolutionary bridge design that acts like six tiny tuning forks that makes your Gibson-EPI style electric guitar sound like a high $$ vintage model.  This new technological break-through helps to recreate the tones of seasoned tonewoods that are no longer available.

Adds sustain-harmonics and longer string life!
Precision machined from the finest grade metals available!

The Tone-O-Matic bridge was developed as an answer to a need voiced by many different guitarists.  As the average working guitarist cannot afford or would be unwilling to use classic models - such as late 50's Les Pauls or Es 335's for gigs.  A need was created to try to replicate the tone of these vintage models using current more available guitars.  The big difference is the wood used on the the older models - Brazilian Rosewood, Honduras Mohogany, Eastern Rock Maple from the U.S. etc.  These woods were air dried, very light and by the 60's were no longer available.  Although visually similar,  the newer models lack the natural resonance of their ancestors, and until recently could not be altered to replicate this feature.


The principal of the Tone-O-Matic is to over resonate to compensate for the sound of the newer, heavy wood which has a duller tone.  The precision milling allows us to use a premium grade of material for the saddles and the two holes in each act like a tuning fork.  This in turn creates greater vibration, sustain, resonance, volume and projection.
