Very good quality
Nice finish, nice fit, rollers work smooth, intonation screws work smooth.I don't anticipate any problems with it.I looked at a lot of bridges for a custom fit and this one is the best for the money.A little more than some others, but you just can't beat the quality, worth every penny.Shipped in a nice box, paper instead of the polluting plastci bubble wrap, although it was in a small plastic bag, but considering all the plastic Iseem to always be getting rid of, this is more minimal than anything I have bought anywhere in the last year, so happy with that and others can take a fricken hint here, you don't have to use that damn bubble wrap on every single thing you send, most of the stuff doesn't need any and the rest can be packed in crumpled paper for less and it won't pollute the world like the lazy ass people who think bubble wrap is the only thing to use for shipping, before plastic crap, everything was with paper, and a lot of it was recycled newspaper, an added bonus of less pollution, just so tired of seeing excessive use of plastics when a little goes a long ways and paper recycled is better yet. If I return anything, it's wrapped in any paper I have that is going to be tossed anyways.Just this alone is the difference I will consider when buying other products, these people get the first vote, quality and a conscience.

Fits Gibson SG and Les Paul Studio Nashville Bridges
I upgraded my 2013 Gibson SG Future and 2004 Les Paul Studio with this roller bridge for tuning stability and to minimize string breaks. It dropped in on both using the supplied screw in studs that went directly into the threads on the factory inserts. This along with locking tuners make for an extremely stable setup. I tune at sound check and they stay all night. It's been said guitarists spend half their gig tuning and the other half playing out of tune. Well not with this bridge. It also matches the radius of the Gibson SG and Les Paul. Not sure about Epi versions though.

Perfect drop in upgrade
I bought this to replace the TOM style bridge on my Gretsch Electromatic ProJet with Bigsby in order to improve tuning stability and return to pitch. The threaded posts were a direct drop in and threaded correctly for the existing overseas bridge bushings. No problems at all. Intonation was a breeze, and there’s plenty of room available for adjustments. My only “con” is that it’s thumbwheel only adjustment for height and no slotted post, so you do have to take a little more time loosening and returning strings to set your action, but once that’s set, how odften do you really need to raise or lower it?

Good, but possibly not suitable to replace some bridges.
Bought this to replace the bridge on my Gretsch G5232T. The existing bridge and the mounts/holes are 100% incompatible (the mounts are WAY smaller than the existing holes/mounts), but the radius of the bridge is exactly right.There are two ways to install the bridge on a guitar like this: 1) pull out the existing mounts, fill the holes, paint, redrill the proper sized holes into the proper locations, and install the new bridge, or 2) (what I did) drill the ends of either side of the bridge so they fit over the original posts.Happy with the purchase. Looks and works great on my Gretsch.

Really nice roller bridge
My favorite roller bridge, if everything fits, or you are comfortable modding, buy it. This product DID NOT fit my Gretsch Electromatic Jet out of the box, but I knew that going in. To make it fit this guitar, I simply ground down the inserts slightly and put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. I then gently pounded them into my factory inserts on the Gretsch. You could also slightly drill the factory inserts.This is a really good roller bridge and looks super clean and classy. No loss of sustain, but perfect intonation and tuning stability.

Does not work on Epiphone guitars as it once said it did.
If you have an epiphone with a bigsby don't buy this to replace your current bridge. It will not fit in your bushings, and these bushings are smaller than the Epiphone bushing holes. When I purchased this product, the add said it was a direct replacement for both Gibson and Epiphone. That was edited after I made the purchase. Don't waist your money.

worth the money.
bought this for a 2013 gibson sg original. fits perfectly easy to setup. I like how its a bit fatter for more precise intonation vs the old tunomatic. never had a problem with strings breaking or tuning issues as long as I tuned down a 1/4-1/2 step. was getting weird tones and sounds out of my old bridge (7 years of daily practice). started to rattle. this bridge is really nice. string spacing is good. no loss of sustain. i dont use my vibrola but tried and no loss in tuning. very happy customer
