This is the adjustable bridge design currently found on new Gibson® solidbody guitars. It features unnotched saddles with individual saddle screw retainer clips. Thumbwheel height-adjustment studs and bushings are included.
Note: If you wish to use Graph Tech String Saver Tune-o-matic Saddles on these bridges, order #3091.
Bridge & Tailpiece Measurements String spread is the distance between the centers of the outer strings on a bridge or tailpiece.
Saddle radius determines the arc formed by all the individual saddle heights, and is similar to the measurement of a fretboard.
Post spacing is the distance between the centers of the mounting posts of a bridge or 'stop' tailpiece.
Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles Nut slotting files work great for metal saddles. Simply use the same techniques you'd use for nut slotting (read more in Making a Nut, Step-by-Step). After filing to the desired depth, we suggest polishing the slot with Mitchell's Abrasive Cord to remove file marks and burrs.
