Advanced Plating Pinnacle Locking ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic Bridge w/ Brass Saddles (Nickel)
This Advanced Plating ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic is part of their Pinnacle locking bridge system for maximum tonal transfer and security during string changes.
Advanced Plating makes ABR-1 Tune-o-matics for Gibson (as well as many of their Nashville bridges and tailpieces). This bridge is designed as an upgrade part and so comes as just the body, you will also need to order either the matching 5 mm Nashville style posts (with included locking caps), the 8 mm Epiphone style posts (with included locking caps) or the 6-32 threaded locking caps and separate thumbwheels for ABR-1 style posts, we stock all these items individually as separate parts.
The bridge slots onto the posts and the height is adjusted using the thumbwheels as normal, when the height is set the locking caps screw onto the posts from above and clamp down on the top of the bridge locking it to the thumbwheels and bridge posts, not only improving vibration transfer but eliminating rattles, any chance of the bridge falling off during string changes or the height adjustment accidentally being changed. The top of thumbwheels used in the locking system are domed and there is a matching concave recess in the bottom of this bridge to ensure that even if the bass side of the bridge is set higher than the treble the bridge will still maintain good contact with the thumbwheels.
The brass saddles are unnotched to allow for slotting to match your chosen string gauge and lets you set the string spacing just right.
