What Type of Bridge Do I Need?

At some point, most guitar players feel the need to upgrade their guitars’ hardware. The reasons for this vary from player to player but are often rooted in tone, feel or quality.

The first step is to identify what bridge you have on your existing guitar and what you are looking to achieve with the upgrade. The first step in identifying what you have is to think about what brand you are upgrading. Gibson, Epiphone and other import guitars (Tokai, Ibanez, Burny etc.) have different measurements at the bridge so will require slightly different parts. Faber Guitar Parts carry suitable replacements for all of these. Before deciding on a bridge, read the following guide to each component and see what matches your instrument.

Bridge and Saddles

The other major component of the bridge is the saddles. The bridge measurements differ across 3 groups:

• Gibson Historic/Custom Shop/All original Gibson guitars with 6-32 posts



• Gibson Guitars with Nashville Bridges (Non-custom shop guitars and heritage guitars with Schaller bridges).



• Non-USA guitars using 4mm bridge posts – Epiphone, Tokai, Ibanez and other import guitars.


The spacing, sizing and post mounting for each bridge type is different so many of these parts are not fully interchangeable. The Faber ABR-59 range includes a fit for each guitar type. Our ABR range is perhaps the most vintage correct replacement bridge available and includes flat top saddles for 100% mechanical contact, removable saddles and a range of finish options.
