Our innovation
No more friction. No more breakage.
On a conventional headless bridge, string tension loads the tuning thread directly. It binds, stiffens and snaps strings. TAN's ball-bearing mechanism takes that load instead.
Effortless tuning, every time
Each bridge piece turns smoothly and independently, so you dial in pitch and get back to playing.
Built for multiscale
Individual saddles per string give complete control over placement and scale length.
Any string count
Integrated top locks mount any number of strings and mixed scales. Top locks are included.
Our bridges
Guitar. Bass. Tremolo.
6000-series aircraft-grade aluminum bodies, solid brass saddles, ABEC3 stainless bearings and stainless hardware throughout.

Upcoming models
TAN-MR1 and TAN-HT6 bring TAN to regular headstock guitars, and you can install them yourself, without a luthier or routing.
IN DEVELOPMENT
TAN-MR1 Modular
One mono-rail module per string, about 21 g each. Strings load from the top with the ball end in the saddle, so the body needs no string-through holes or ferrules.
- 6, 7 and 8 strings, any spacing
- Multiscale by staggering modules
- Slotted mounts reuse old screw holes
- Alignment jig in the box
PROTOTYPE
TAN-HT6 Hardtail
A string-through 6-string fixed bridge with tool-free thumbwheel intonation and a laser-etched scale in every saddle lane.
- Thumbwheel: one turn = 0.5 mm
- Optional hex piezo, 6 channels
- Brass or aluminum plate
