"ONE V" - Brass - Nickel

KMS "ONE V" 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.

Identical to our „ONE“ Tune-O-Matic bridge but equipped with V-Saddles, this bridge gives you the right handling without the need of notching saddles. The deep special designed V-grooves just have the right fitting for all string gauges. No adjustment needed. All strings naturally have a perfect, safe and tight contact surface to the saddles and create a perfect fusion to the the bridge and hence to the guitar body.

No matter if you prefer very light, extremely heavy or mixed sets of strings gauges, our V-saddles take them all. This also makes them ideal for players who want to try out or change different string gauges from time to time. Great tone and tuning stability guaranteed.

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.
