Steadfast Designs has launched the Steadfast Stopbar™, a patented aluminum tailpiece that aims to eliminate string-change stress and keep guitars in tune longer. Designed for any guitar with a traditional Tune-O-Matic/stopbar setup, it reimagines the conventional stringing process by anchoring the ball-ends at the tuner and locking the free ends at the tailpiece with precision set screws.
Key features of the Steadfast Stopbar™ include:
- Patented string-locking design aims to remove stress and cut restringing time by up to 75%.
- Innovative double-locking arrangement: created by precision set screws (at the tailpiece) and the string’s ball-ends (at the tuning post). Your guitar’s tuning stays put better than ever.
- CNC-machined in the USA from billet 6061 aluminum: stronger, lighter, and more resonant than the material used in most stock stopbars, with better sustain and clarity.
- Drop-in replacement is fully compatible with US and metric spacing. No drilling, no permanent modifications, zero impact to resale value – and easy upgrade to install.
- Available finishes: Nickel Plated, real 24K Gold Plated, black anodized, and silver anodized.
