Gotoh Tune-o-matic Bridge with Standard Posts

GOT THIS FOR AN ORIGINAL '63 GIBSON SG-NEW ONES LOOKED TOO NEW! THIS WILL MATCH THE OLD FROSTED HUMBUCKERS

Replaced a 4mm post ABR with this Nashville style bridge. Gained more saddle adjustment and sustain due to this being a heavier, more solidly built bridge than the one I replaced. I would definitely purchase again.

Oops ! I didn't know you have to file the notches where the strings go. Oh well time to see the guitar tech and spend more money.

I replace the TOM bridges on my Epiphone and Gibson guitars with GOTOH TOM's. They are SOLID, no vibration or loose parts, wider for better intonation. IMO they offer slightly more sustain because they are made from a solid piece with no springs or loose parts.

I replace all my stock ABR-1's or import ABR's with these Gotoh TOM's, I don't have to invert the invert bridge pieces anymore and am able to do setups, intonation better. I play a lot of bottleneck slide and inverted bridge pieces screwup the setup for slide. These Gotoh TOM's are the best.

I purchased this item a while back from stew mac and finally got around to using it. I installed it on a Epiphone Les Paul with conversion posts. Now even though this bridge is pre-notched, you still have to file and cut the notches deeper on some of the saddles, and you also have to flip some of the saddles around in some cases just like Gibson and Epiphone does. Use caution when flipping the saddles around, there's a nut with a nylon washer and a screw with a nylon washer, these parts are easy to strip out, so take your time and do it right the first time. But this part also fits in place of a Standard ABR-1 bridge as on a Gibson Les Paul and such, it is similar to the Nashville bridge in some aspects, but best of all you can use your stock posts with it.

This is a good bridge. Definitely an improvement over the Gibson/Epiphone bridge with the retaining wire. They say the saddles are pre-notched but they are really pre-nicked. So be prepared to use a couple of nut files when notching them.

This made a huge difference after wasting my time with TOM bridges with the retaining wire. Since putting this in I no longer get any random buzzing in my IBJL Casino. Great item!

I use GOTOH TOM bridges on many of my Gibson and Epiphone guitars. Gotoh makes a very solid, stable bridge with more room to adjust intonation and no springs or loose parts to make noise, buzz or get lost...Gotoh is the ONLY replacement TOM bridge I have used for the last several years. I am NOT a tech, but I have over 40 guitars and have been playing since the early '60's and do some of my own set ups and minor work.

Drop in replacement on a Gibson ES-175. Very high quality item!
