1) New strings aren't stable.

Fresh strings are a tuning headache. The traditional three wraps around the tuning post creates areas of unstable friction which guitarists recognize as "string stretch".

2) String changes take too long.

Wrapping strings and twisting pegs wastes time (and strains wrists).

For guitar techs and luthiers, it’s a setup bottleneck. For modders, it’s obsolete.

 

The Solution? 

Our patented, CNC-milled, billet aluminum-alloy stopbar with precision set screws firmly secure the free ends of each string. The ball-ends remains anchored at the headstock, effectively reversing the traditional stringing process.  This makes tuning stability better than ever, string changes faster than ever, and it preserves your guitar's existing volume, clarity, focus, and harmonic content, naturally. 

Benefits for Musicians

Time-Savings: Significantly reduces the time required to change strings, ideal for live performances and studio sessions.  Our patented design also minimizes the number of retunings necessary due to string "stretch" after a string change.

Reduced Physical Strain: Significantly reduces hand and wrist fatigue by eliminating excessive tuning peg rotations. 

Consistent Performance: Ensures ultimate tuning stability, enhancing overall playing experience letting you change strings faster and get back to playing sooner.

6061 Aluminum vs. Traditional Zinc Stopbars

Billet 6061 Aluminum alloy (The Steadfast Stopbar)

Stronger & more durable: Harder than vintage zinc alloy, yet lightweight.

Better tone transfer: Metal-to-metal contact enhances resonance and sustain.

Precision-machined: Consistent fit for Gibsons and Epiphones.

Zinc Alloy (OEM Gibson/Epiphone/99% of everyone else)

Softer & heavier: Prone to bending, corrosion, and wear over time.

Less consistent performance: Casting variations can affect tone.

Plated for appearance: Nickel finish protects surface but doesn’t strengthen the metal.

 

The Takeaway: Our 6061 aluminum stopbar is a modern upgrade — stronger, lighter, and more reliable than the zinc bars used in all Gibson and Epiphone guitars, while remaining fully compatible with existing studs and spacing.

Change strings, in less time, with better tuning stability and tone!
