Brass (10mm) Bridge Adjusters

What are the advantages on using the Brass Bridge Adjusters?

The Brass Bridge Adjusters have a "fixed wheel" with a "free-rotating cap" on the smooth end and an "internal thread mechanism" on the threaded end. As a result any movement of the adjuster wheel is quite effortless and incredibly smooth.

I take it then - that each Brass Bridge Adjuster is made from more than two components?

Yes. Each Brass Bridge Adjuster is made up of three parts. The three parts are;

i) A cap with a smooth internal and external surface
ii) A cap with threaded internal and external surface
iii) A onepiece adjuster wheel on "inner-leg"

Are there any things to consider in comparison to other types of adjuster?

The brass bridge adjusters do have a slight weight disadvantage but this is more than compensated for - by their unique design and superior adjustment action. Fitting could also take slightly longer.

Is there anything else that I should consider before purchasing the Brass Bridge adjusters?

If you are intending to fit any type of adjuster you need to check that the legs of your bridge are wide enough and straight enough to accommodate the adjuster legs.

What is the maximum diameter of the adjuster legs?

The threaded part of the adjuster legs is 9.84mm in diameter.

Summary:

The Brass Bridge Adjusters really are a masterpiece in design and engineering. The incorporation of an internal thread mechanism means that any height adjustments to one's bridge and strings are effortless and super-smooth.
