Gotoh Tune-o-matic Bridge

The sound definitely improved. Do not rattle anything thicker sound. Nests under the bridge put the old ones. New little small. I was ready for it and I have no complaints. Very pleased larger than the original course of the saddles. Impressions only positive. Thanks to Stewart-MacDonald's.

I read a ton of reviews and forums about bridges before I ordered this one. This bridge is a huge improvement over the stock one. The bridge fit perfectly with the included posts and stock bushings. I am going to order another one for my Epiphone Les Paul. A great investment!

Better intonation, lighter, and a crisper tone. Wholly recommended.

I bought the gold one to replace the oem on the Sheraton II. The Epi bridge is garbage. The screws don't stay where you put them and the range is insufficient. The factory-placed bass stud was not placed back far enough on the guitar, so even on the new one, I had to reverse some of the sliders. To do that, you need to remove the nut and screw from the slider. Before you do this, put some isopropyl alcohol on the nut to dissolve the threadlocker. The screw will then come out easily. After you reverse the slider, you don't need to reapply threadlocker. I used the original studs.

This bridge is a big improvement over the factory one -- the range, adjustment precision, and overall quality make this a wise upgrade. Another note about the Sheraton II: If it doesn't stay in tune, you need to tighten the screws on the Grover tuner heads a bit more than you would on other tuners. I noticed that even when mine were tight, you could still touch a key and it would detune. Mine are a little harder to turn, but now they stay where I put them. This might be a common problem with all Epiphone instruments.

This bridge is a high quality drop-in that solved every issue I was having. (rattle noises, intonation issues.) plus it sharpened the tone and I have way better sustain now. Worth twice the price!!

Purchased two of these to replace the bridges in an Epiphone Les Paul Studio and Epiphone Dot.

These were a drop-in replacement and are obviously much higher quality than the old bridges. Cured both guitars of annoying rattles at the bridge. These also provide a larger adjustment for intonation than Epi stock, so my G string finally intonates.

ordered the gotoh tune -o-matic bridge to replace my old epiphone dot bridge that rattles what a differefnce it makes no rattles good tone the intonation was all most dead on before i adjusted it works good post wewe sloppy used my old ones excellent bridge good price id recommend this bridge thankes stewart-macdonald

First of all, Stewmac is a great place to shop. Excellent service, speedy delivery, friendly, patient, expert advice.

I purchased this bridge (#1511-N) as a replacement/upgrade for a 2010 Epiphone Les Paul Standard.

1) The Gotoh bushings do not match the existing holes (too narrow), but, as a consolation, the Gotoh studs work with existing bushings.

2) The Gotoh posts do not fit snugly into the Gotoh post holes. Specs indicate this is deliberate: Post-hole diameter 6.35mm, post diameter 5.94mm.

I might have thought a bridge ought to be perfectly stationary, like the one I removed from the guitar, but Larry, a mild-mannered Stewmac Technical Advisor, says this is not uncommon, even with stock bridges on Gibson USA made instruments. He says the bridge will remain stationary under string tension. Time will tell.

The qualitiy right out of the box, I found was exceptional. However, with a little filing on the string groves and I was set. it took an whole 3 minutes to install. After putting on the strings, a quik set of the intonation, the guitar was back in perfect working order. So thank you, you made my neighbor very happy when I finished fixing the guitar.

I purchased this to replace a damaged tone pros bridge on my ESP. Fit perfect, easy install and solid quality.
