Gibson LP/SG standard. Bar for string anchoring. Paired with TOM bridge. Two studs. Height adjustable. ~$15–40.

Wraparound vs stop+TOM?

Wraparound: bridge+tailpiece in one (LP Junior). Simpler but worse intonation. Compensated=better. Stop+TOM: separate, more precise.

Vibrato system: spring mechanism with arm. Soft vibrato. Rockabilly, country, surf. B7 (arched), B5 (flat). ~$100–200. Vibramate=no drilling.

Gibson USA=imperial. Epiphone/Korean/Chinese=metric. TonePros, Gotoh=both options. Check!

Locking: locks onto studs. Better contact=more sustain. ~$30–45. Most popular LP upgrade.
