Available in 3 and 4 string models, these new MGB Pitch Benders can add a new dimension to your CBGs. Includes all of the chrome finished components and hardware needed. Also includes a template to provide accurate location and sizing of hole for the bridge and locations for mounting screws. Critical steps for installation: Use the template (included) for accurate lay-out of holes. Make sure to line up the box center line and scale length line.  Secure anchor block (2 1/2 x 4  inches) to inside of lid. It should meet with edge of hole. The bridge screws will need to go through the lid and into the block. Do not over tighten screws that secure the bridge. The bridge must lay flat against the box, see pic. The bridge will need to pivot to shorten the strings and bend the pitch. Anchor the springs to provide tension, you can use the spring bracket or install screws in the anchor block. Our experience shows that stretching the strings about 1/2 inch from the normal state provides the right tension. This tension will will keep the bridge flat and allow tuning. Bending the bar will further stretch the springs and allow the bridge to pivot. The 3 string uses two springs and the 4 string uses three springs. The strings are bottom loading so access through the back of the box is needed.

Traditional 3 string bridges have a narrow 12 mm spacing between strings. This places the strings close together and can can be challenging for players with bigger hands and fingers. The new MGB XL bridge solves that problem providing a bridge with ample spacing. The spacing between strings on the new XL Bridge is 16mm (0.625", just under 5/8") with total distance from string 1 to string 3 being 32mm or 1.25 inches which works perfectly with a 1 1/2 inch neck. This bridge is a "top-loading" style, which means that the strings are fed through the back plate of the bridge, then up and over the saddles. No drilling through the instrument/box is required  Each one is mounted securely by four screws, and a small hex wrench is also included for adjusting the small set screws that control string action height. The saddles can be adjusted by means of a screw at the back of the bridge to get the intonation just right, and small set screws at the front of each saddle let you set the string action height.  Perfect for 3-string cigar box guitars Sturdy metal construction Chrome, Black, Gold or Antique Brass finish Individually adjustable string saddles Mounting screws and wrench included Top-loading  Find XL Bridge shim HERE Easy Bridge Placement Template HERE E-System Bridge Locator Template HERE

MGB Guitars is proud to introduce their Easy Box Trappy enclosure. According to Bill Jehle this shape for an instrument body dates to the early 1800s, before cigar boxes were created. This innovative trapezoidal enclosure has two sides with two distinct uses. One with a sound hole and one without. The box comes in three versions, one with no control plate opening, one with the control plate on the sound hole side and one with the control plate opening on the back. This box was designed and built using the same principles used in acoustic instrument construction. The box is built using purfling and braces to create an incredibly strong and rigid structure. Additional reinforcements were added to key locations to allow when securing bridges. Cover plates are available to cover the sound hole when it is on the back side.  Measuring 12 1/2 inches long, by 4 1/2 inches at the top, by 8 inches at the bottom and 2 1/2 thick, the box is made from thin ply with a top veneer of Sapele. This box provides a perfect canvass for creating your own piece of musical art. The box head and tail are a full 5/8 thick. They are sufficiently long for almost all styles of builds.
