Nechville Enterprise Compensated Banjo Bridge
The better banjo bridge is the easiest way to improve your sound. Our bridges are compensated so that they stay in tune up the neck and are handmade one at a time with immense attention to detail. Note: All bridges are built by hand to order, and may require 1-10 business days to build, depending on our current workload.
Pick the weight that suits your style: heavier bridges will be warmer for their weight and have more sustain, lighter bridges will be brighter will a quicker decay.
Keep in mind though that taller bridges will be warmer as they will naturally be heavier and vise versa. So a 'light' 11/16" bridge may be heavier/warmer than a 'heavy' 5/8", for example.
Because of Nechville's Quick-Cam neck connection they can be adjusted for up to a 3/4" bridge. Other banjos may only be able to go up to 11/16" without serious adjustment like a neck reset. If you don't have a Nechville and are unsure, it's best to stick with the height you have or consult a professional luthier.
