St.Helens "Lightning Bolt" Wraparound
St.Helens "Lightning Bolt" Wraparound 閃電補償版。
依照 Gibson 在 1960s 推出的「閃電型補償 Wraparound」設計，琴橋上有明顯的「閃電形」補償線條（zig-zag），視覺上更有特色，辨識度高。「閃電型」補償比 Classic 更明顯，音準更準確，對於現代演奏者來說更實用。
來自德國製造，專屬合金材料由實驗室分析後精心打造，材質穩定性、精密度，一款真正會影響音色的極致復古吉他零件。採用獨家訂製的合金製成，這些合金是從原始零件由實驗室分析得出，確保在成分與硬度上符合復古規格，打造出真正原汁原味且具備正宗音色的金屬零件，最接近復古老式零件風格，但整體結構與精密度更佳穩定，螺絲部件更加順暢，特殊的合金材料能使音色更加集中，改善琴弦在金屬零件上產生不必要的共振進而影響吉他音色。
過去二十年，我們研究了各種復古原廠琴橋，並選出我們認為音色最佳的一款，將其送至實驗室進行精密的材料分析。
透過獲得的數據與洞察，我們向本地供應商訂製了專屬合金，僅供 Schwarz Custom Parts 獨家使用。這使我們能夠以極高的精度進行鑄造，確保尺寸與規格的精準度。

Designed after the “lightning-style compensated wraparound” introduced by Gibson in the 1960s, featuring distinct zig-zag compensation lines on the bridge for a more striking and highly recognizable look. The “lightning-style” compensation is more pronounced than the Classic version, providing more accurate intonation and making it more practical for modern players.
Product Details
The St. Helens Post & Thumbwheels are made from our unique brass alloy, analyzed from original parts to meet vintage correct specs regarding composition and hardness to make for truly authentic sounding hardware.
After studying various vintage original bridges over the past two decades, we selected what we believed to be the best-sounding one and sent it to a lab for a precise material analysis.
The data and insights we gathered enabled us to custom order a unique alloy from a local supplier, available exclusively for Schwarz Custom Parts. This allows us to cast our parts to precise specifications and measurements.
- Post & thumbwheels made from custom spec'd brass alloy
- Tested for hardness according to HV (Vickers hardness)
- Nickel plating without copper layer underneath
- Tumble polished for original look
- Typical to 50s components posts are flat on one side and rounded on the other (can be positioned in both directions as orientation doesn't impact performance. Both orientations can be seen on instruments from that era)
- Original thumbwheel shape carefully recreated using custom-made tools
- Available in finishes nickel / gold gloss (unaged) or nickel / gold aged
- 100% made in Germany
Specs:
- 6-32 UNC thread
- 27 mm overall length
- 1,5 g (per piece) post weight
- ca. 16,06 mm thumbwheel diameter
- 2,5 mm thickness
- 3,98 g (per piece) thumbwheel weight
