Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Dead Ringer before you order.
-
Yes — the Dead Ringer was designed to recreate that thumpy, muted tone you hear on records by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, and Jeff Tweedy. You can install it or remove it in seconds, giving you both your guitar’s natural voice and the rubber bridge sound without buying another instrument.
-
The Dead Ringer is designed to fit most standard acoustic guitars and acoustic-style electrics. For the best fit, it should feel snug — you’ll gently press to insert it and slide it against the bridge.
-
Every guitar is a little different, so each Dead Ringer comes with one 2 mm foam strip installed and two extra 2 mm strips you can add if you need more height. At the optimal setup, the fit should be snug but smooth — never forced.
-
No. The soft, body-safe foam rests against the guitar without scratching or leaving marks. It won’t harm your strings or finish.
-
The high-density foam and PLA+ frame resist wear, compression, and temperature changes, holding their shape even after extended use.
-
No tools required. Just slide it in or out in seconds.
-
