Recessed Tune-O-Matic with String-Through Body Mounting

On Flat Top bodies only we offer a recessed rout for our Gotoh Tune-O-Matic or TonePros Tune-O-Matic with a choice of 3 string-through patterns for $15. The strings go through our top-string-through ferrules and anchor in our standard guitar string ferrules in the back of the body.

Due to the bridge recess, a neck pocket angle is not required.
