Ernie Ball String Dampener, Guitar Tailpiece

The Ernie Ball String Dampener for guitar tailpieces is a simple, effective accessory designed to refine your tone by eliminating excess ringing and sympathetic vibration from strings beyond the bridge. By reducing unwanted overtones, it helps deliver cleaner articulation, focused sustain and a more controlled response in both live and studio situations.

Main Features

• Tailpiece mounted string dampener for improved tonal clarity
• Reduces unwanted resonance and harmonic spill from behind the bridge
• Enhances note definition and sustain on electric guitars
• Easy, tool free installation and removal
• Discreet design that remains unobtrusive while playing

Cleaner Signal, Better Mix

Uncontrolled resonance can add noise and frequency clutter, particularly when using high gain, compression or layered effects. The String Dampener removes these artefacts at the source, resulting in tighter tracking, clearer chords and more defined single note lines.

Simple Installation

Designed for everyday use, the dampener fits directly behind the bridge without screws, adhesive or permanent modification. It can be applied or removed in seconds and sits discreetly in the tailpiece area.

Ideal for Live and Studio Performance

Whether recording clean tones, producing heavily processed sounds or performing high volume sets, the String Dampener ensures only the musical signal is heard. Perfect for players seeking tighter control over sustain, reverb trails and detailed phrasing.
