"ONE 50" - Brass - Nickel

KMS "ONE 50" Brass

In addition to preserving the look and feel of classic vintage gear, all functional improvements the ONE bridge provides have been carefully designed in a discreet and unobtrusive manner. We call it contemporary vintage.

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy. The use of Brass has a long history in instrument making du to malleable properties and excellent acoustic characteristics. In terms of tonality, it can be seen as the most versatile material and can help bringing even a plain and dull sounding guitar to life.

The "ONE 50" comes with Fat-Flat-50 Saddles which have a larger string contact area and more mass like Gibson ®ABR-1® saddles originally had in the 50s. The increased string to saddle impact creates an overall bigger tone and you will profit from raising sustain. Brass saddles are provided as standard and can be considered as the first choice in most cases. To form your tone in an even more specific direction, you are invited to choose from diverse materials or coatings optionally.
