How To Identify What Guitar Bridge You Need?

 Once you become an experienced guitar player, you understand the sound and the quality of music which seems soothing to your ears then one thing comes to your mind. It is upgrading your guitar’s hardware and customizing it as per your preference so the quality of music you want to produce is not compromised at any level.

  • ABRM Bridge: For 4mm post styles on import guitars ABRM Bridge is the direct replacement and it also enhances the tone of import guitars
  • ABRH Bridge: If your Gibson guitar is original or from the custom shop, is a vintage model, or is from the historic collection then ABRH Bridge is worth considering
  • Les Paul bridge: The Les Paul bridge also known as the “Tune-O-Matic” bridge is not just for Les Paul but many other guitars as well. For ABR-1 equipped guitars this bridge is suitable.
  • ABRN Bridge: If you have a USA Gibson guitar then the bridge style is Nashville and ABRN is for you and this also fits on the conversion bushings which are used on the import models.

From the tone lock series, you can choose the Faber bridge replacement. The tone lock range comes in the same size as the ABR range and this has no gap technology so the bridge is fastened to the body and it enhances the stability. It also vibrates more and improves sustain. The tone lock model is for import models, Gibson guitars (custom shop/ Nashville bridges and vintage)

For all new bridges, Faber gives Conversion Bridge posts Bridges which accompany all the bridge types. Import guitars are metric and the USA parts are measured in inches which is vital for ordering the right parts of the instrument.

For USA Gibson Guitars the vintage steel tailpiece studs are ideal for the bridge upgrade and these fit the USA Gibson Guitars that have Faber TPI tailpiece bushings or the 5/16–24 bushings.

For replacing the Parts for Gibson Guitarsyou can get a TP-59 stop tailpiece for upgrading. TP-59 is made of aluminum and gives the tone which nickel or zinc die-cast tailpieces give.

For the one-piece wrap around Style Bridge, you can choose Faber Guitar Parts

The tailpiece has compensated edges and it helps in intonation. The Wraptonate tailpiece is a complete intonate wraparound bridge and there may not be an ideal replacement but it will be suitable for vintage players.

The tone bar compensated will give precise tone and the intonation will improve as well. The adjustable saddles for wrap tail guitar will be more beneficial and for TPWC compensated ones who have a vintage feel will give a perfect intonation. Non compensated ones will be good for vintage guitars.
