GOTOH TB47.5 CK Tension Bar Guitar String Retainer (Cosmo Black)
The GOTOH TB47.5 CK is a string tension bar that mounts on the headstock of a guitar with a locking tremolo. It holds all the strings down together and gives them an even break angle towards the nut. The bar is 47.5 mm long and fixes with two screws on 28.5 mm centres. The Cosmo Black (CK) finish is GOTOH's dark metallic finish, a natural match for black and dark hardware.

Even String Pressure on the Headstock
On guitars with a locking system the strings need to meet the nut at the right angle, and that is the tension bar's job. A single bar instead of individual string trees presses the strings down evenly, so they do not wander across the nut or flex between the nut and the tuners.
Dimensions for an Exact Replacement
According to the GOTOH drawing the bar is 47.5 mm long, with mounting holes 28.5 mm apart centre to centre. If you are replacing an old bar, measure the hole spacing on the headstock: when it matches, the TB47.5 drops into place with no new drilling.
Cosmo Black with Screws Included
The dark CK finish pairs with GOTOH hardware in the same finish, such as the VK1-18 CK knobs. Mounting screws are included, so there is no need to source fixings separately.
