Mastery Bridge & Vibrato: Re-Imagining Icons

Offset guitars have been the beloved underdog of the guitar world.

So when you want to be unique, a customized offset is an easy choice to really stand out.

The problem just seems to be with the old and traditional hardware.

Imagine if the bridges and vibratos were more reliable, easier to play, rigid….. Or could just stay in tune with little effort, at least!

And what if we told you that we offer them?

Mastery Bridge, the company improving upon the classic offset designs have done so with their Mastery products. We are proud to offer them for your Halo custom guitar.

In searching for the best possible parts for our guitars, we found that Mastery Bridge offers a great solution to problems some players have with their traditional offset hardware.

Their M1 Mastery bridge is equipped with solid brass saddles, plated in self-lubricating hard chrome. This helps eliminate the annoying buzz, wear, and friction found in other designs. Not only that, but the saddles are designed to keep the strings in place instead of popping out with a pick attack.

The Mastery saddles offer easy height control and intonation adjustments. They're also an asset since they do not interfere with strings during vibrato use.

The bridge is also constructed of high quality, CNC water-cut stainless steel (with rounded, smoothed edges) for its baseplate and stainless steel mounting posts (further designed to keep your bridge in place).

And where would an offset body be without a vibrato to match? The Mastery Vibrato (MV) features an impressive arm housing machined from a single block of solid stainless steel. It has a matching stainless steel plunger to adjust the arm’s stiffness so you can control the amount of play as it rotates.

One major noticeable difference is the lack of a ‘lock-stop’ found on traditional offset guitars which lock the vibrato in place. This is intentional as the vibrato can be more efficient in coming back to pitch with even distribution across the plate. The plate is also manufactured to return to a normal state without the need for a lock!

The string plate cutout is also deepened to keep string ball ends from hitting the back end of the plate. The string plate cutout is then widened to ensure that the string plate will not rest on the edges, affecting the use of the vibrato.

If you like the sleek design with stainless steel plate and hard chrome saddle construction,  but would prefer a traditional singlecut-style bridge, Mastery also offers the Mastery M4 Tele Bridge!

A design with the same high quality CNC water-cut stainless steel baseplate and deluxe hard chrome saddles!

For Bisby B5 users, another version (Mastery M4.1 Tele Bridge) is available (string through body holes also included).

So when you design that one-of-a-kind Halo custom guitar of your dreams, consider Mastery bridges and vibratos as an option. That way you let everyone know you not only defy the common top dogs in taste, but in unrivaled ease and performance as you play your Halo offset instrument!
