TonePros AVT2P Locking Fully Intonatable Wraparound Bridge — Piezo Loadable, Chrome (AVT2P-C)

The TonePros AVT2P (AVT2P-C) is currently the only locking, Piezo loadable, fully intonatable wraparound bridge in production anywhere in the world. Supplied as a complete assembly including the AVT2P wraparound bridge, SPRS2 wide-cap locking studs and TonePros' proprietary "Heighten and Tighten" adjustment tool. Built for USA guitars with stud mount bridges at standard 82mm centre-to-centre stud spacing with approximately 10.4mm string spread. The bridge offers individual saddle intonation adjustment across all strings — a capability that standard and compensated wraparound bridges do not provide — alongside TonePros' patented locking stud system and saddle slots that accept standard piezo saddle elements for acoustic-electric hybrid capability. This is a complete wraparound bridge system rather than a bridge-only replacement.

Angkor Music — Why Full Intonation on a Wraparound Bridge Matters, and What Makes the AVT2P Different

The wraparound bridge is one of the simplest and most resonant guitar bridge designs — a single piece of metal over which the strings wrap and from which they transfer vibration directly into the body. It was used on original Les Paul Junior, Les Paul Special, SG Junior and SG Special instruments, and has remained popular for its tone and simplicity. Its traditional limitation is intonation. A standard wraparound bridge has a single fixed saddle surface — all six strings intonate from the same curved line, which produces correct intonation for approximately two strings and compromises on the rest. Compensated wraparound bridges improve this with a stepped or angled saddle surface but still cannot individually adjust each string to its precise intonation point. The AVT2P solves this with individually adjustable saddles — each string's intonation point can be set independently, exactly as on a tune-o-matic bridge, without sacrificing the wraparound bridge's tonal character or simplicity. The second feature — Piezo loadable saddles — is genuinely unique. The AVT2P's saddle slots accept standard piezo saddle elements, allowing the bridge to function as both a standard string-to-body transfer point and a piezo pickup source simultaneously. This enables acoustic-electric hybrid tone from a wraparound-format guitar without routing or additional modification. Third, the SPRS2 locking studs. Standard wraparound bridge studs sit in their inserts under string tension only — the bridge can rock on the studs or lift slightly under certain playing conditions. The SPRS2 locking studs are set-screw locked in position once height is established, eliminating stud movement and maintaining consistent bridge-to-body contact for improved resonance transfer and sustain. The included Heighten and Tighten tool is TonePros' proprietary adjustment tool for setting bridge height and engaging the locking studs correctly. At Angkor Music we stock the AVT2P in chrome, nickel and gold.

What Makes the AVT2P Unique — Three Capabilities No Other Wraparound Provides

Feature Standard Wraparound Compensated Wraparound TonePros AVT2P
Intonation Fixed — compromised on most strings Improved but not individual Full individual saddle adjustment per string
Locking No — string tension only No SPRS2 patented locking studs
Piezo capability No No Yes — standard piezo saddle elements accepted
Adjustment tool included No No Yes — Heighten and Tighten tool included

Full Individual Intonation — Why This Changes the Wraparound

A tune-o-matic bridge has always offered individual saddle intonation adjustment — each of the six saddle pieces can be moved independently forward or backward to set the precise intonation point for that string's gauge and scale length. This is why tune-o-matic equipped guitars intonate accurately across the full neck.

A standard wraparound bridge offers none of this. All six strings share a single fixed contact surface. The result is that some strings intonate well, others do not — the guitar plays in tune at open position and progressively less accurately as the player moves up the neck. Many players accept this as an inherent limitation of the wraparound format.

The AVT2P removes this limitation entirely. Individual adjustable saddles allow each string to be set to its precise intonation point — the same setup process as a tune-o-matic, achieved in a wraparound bridge body. The tonal character of the wraparound format is preserved; the intonation limitation is eliminated.

SPRS2 Locking Studs — Wraparound Specific Locking

The SPRS2 locking studs included with the AVT2P are TonePros' wide-cap locking stud system designed specifically for wraparound bridge applications. The locking mechanism differs from the post-and-thumbwheel locking used on the TP6 and TP7 tune-o-matic range:

On a wraparound bridge, the bridge body hangs from two studs — the bridge wraps over the studs and string tension holds it in position. Standard studs can rock slightly in their inserts or lift under certain playing conditions. The SPRS2 studs lock in their inserts via set screws once the correct bridge height is established — the studs cannot move, the bridge cannot rock on the studs, and consistent bridge-to-body contact is maintained.

The wide cap of the SPRS2 studs is specifically sized for the AVT2P bridge body geometry — providing the correct bearing surface for the wraparound format.

Piezo Loadable — Acoustic-Electric Hybrid Capability

The AVT2P's saddle slots are dimensioned to accept standard piezo saddle elements — small piezo transducers that convert string vibration directly into an electrical signal at the point of contact. When fitted with piezo saddles, the AVT2P can function simultaneously as a standard magnetic pickup bridge and a piezo source, providing:

  • Acoustic-electric hybrid tone from a solid body wraparound guitar
  • Separate piezo and magnetic pickup outputs (with appropriate preamp/routing)
  • The tonal versatility of acoustic simulation on an instrument originally designed purely for magnetic pickup use

This capability requires a compatible piezo system and appropriate wiring — the bridge provides the physical platform for piezo saddle elements; the complete system requires additional electronics. Players interested in the Piezo capability should contact us to discuss the full system requirements.

Heighten and Tighten Tool — Included in the Set

The AVT2P assembly includes TonePros' Heighten and Tighten adjustment tool — a proprietary tool designed to set the SPRS2 locking stud height precisely and engage the locking set screws correctly. This tool makes the height setting and locking process straightforward and ensures the studs are locked at the correct height without the improvised tool use that can damage stud slots. The inclusion of this tool in the set means no additional tooling purchase is required for installation.

Compatibility — Stud Spacing and USA Guitar Format

The AVT2P fits USA guitars with stud mount bridges at standard 82mm (3.22") centre-to-centre stud spacing. This covers:

  • Gibson Les Paul Junior and Les Paul Special
  • Gibson SG Junior and SG Special
  • Gibson Melody Maker
  • Many other USA-production instruments with stud mount wraparound bridges at standard spacing

Before ordering, confirm your guitar's stud-to-stud spacing measures 82mm centre to centre. If your guitar has a tune-o-matic bridge rather than a wraparound, the AVT2P is not the correct product — see the TP6 or AVR2 range depending on your bridge format.

Who Is the TonePros AVT2P-C For?

  • Les Paul Junior, Les Paul Special, SG Junior, SG Special and Melody Maker players wanting full intonation capability on their wraparound bridge
  • Players frustrated by the intonation limitations of standard or compensated wraparound bridges
  • Players wanting to add Piezo acoustic-electric hybrid capability to a wraparound-format guitar
  • Players who want the tonal character of the wraparound format with the intonation precision of a tune-o-matic
  • Players with chrome hardware — for nickel hardware choose AVT2P-N, for gold hardware choose AVT2P-G
  • Players with tune-o-matic bridges should look at the TP6 Nashville range or AVR2 vintage range instead

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't standard wraparound bridges intonate properly?
A standard wraparound bridge has a single fixed saddle surface that all six strings contact at the same point on the bridge body. Correct intonation requires each string to have its contact point at a specific distance from the nut based on that string's gauge and tension. A single fixed surface can only be in the correct position for one or two strings at a time — the others are compromised. The AVT2P solves this with individually adjustable saddles that can each be set to the correct intonation point for their specific string.

What does Piezo loadable mean in practice?
The AVT2P's saddle slots are dimensioned to accept standard piezo saddle elements — small transducers that convert string vibration into an electrical signal at the point of string contact. When fitted with compatible piezo saddles and appropriate internal wiring and preamp, the guitar can output both a standard magnetic pickup signal and a piezo acoustic-simulation signal simultaneously. The bridge provides the physical saddle platform for this capability — the complete Piezo system requires additional electronics. Contact us to discuss full system requirements for your specific instrument.

What is the Heighten and Tighten tool and do I need it?
The Heighten and Tighten tool is TonePros' proprietary wrench for adjusting the SPRS2 locking stud height and engaging the locking set screws. It is included in the AVT2P set and is the correct tool for installation — using improvised tools on the stud set screws risks damaging the slot. The included tool makes setup straightforward and no additional tooling is required.

How do I confirm my guitar is compatible with the AVT2P?
Measure your guitar's existing bridge stud spacing centre to centre — it must be 82mm (3.22") for the AVT2P to fit. Your guitar must have a stud-mount wraparound bridge format rather than a tune-o-matic bridge. If your guitar has a tune-o-matic bridge, see the TP6 Nashville range or AVR2 vintage range instead. Contact us with your guitar's make and model if you want compatibility confirmed before ordering.

Is this the only fully intonatable locking wraparound bridge available?
Yes — TonePros' claim that the AVT2P is currently the only locking, Piezo loadable, standard saddle, fully intonatable wraparound bridge in the world is accurate at the time of writing. No other manufacturer currently produces a wraparound bridge that combines all three capabilities in a single product.
