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.

First step: Analyzing

The first thing which you have to identify when you plan to upgrade the guitar’s hardware is the selection of bridges. You need to analyze what you expect out of the upgrade. You also have to understand what brand you are upgrading. Each guitar has a different measurement for the Guitar bridge, So Gibson, Epiphone, Burny, etc. will need parts that are a little distinct.

  • 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. ABR-1 bridges are also known as Tune-o-Matic bridges. In fact, Both the ABR and Nashville bridges are types of Tune-o-Matic bridges. The main differences between the two can be found in their adjustability.
  • ABRN Bridge: If you have a USA Gibson guitar then the bridge style in 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.
