Gibson Bridge/Steg ABR-1 Nickel

Un puente casi perfecto, de calidad y con todo lo que necesitas para reemplazar o renovar el de serie. Las dos únicas pegas que le pongo y por lo que no es perfecto son:

Primero.- los tornillos para colocarlo son los originales de las guitarras antiguas (las que meten la tuerca directamente en la madera y no en el post como en las más modernas, así que si quieres reemplazar uno de las nuevas series vas a tener que usar los viejos.

Segundo.- no vienen precortadas las selletas, así que, vas a tener que jugártela si no sabes hacer el trabajo comprándote un set de limas o llevarlo a alguien que te lo haga, y dejarte unos durillos. Es una pena, porque vienen colocadas perfectamente en su posición y si viniesen pre cortadas, sería un simple quita y pon.

Realmente es lo que ofrece el producto en la descripción, pero Gibson podría mejorar el producto un poco con esos pequeños detalles que si ofrecen otras marcas como ABM, TonePros…

I own a 95' Gibson Les Paul Classic with a ABR-1 style bridge. The old one was overused and corroded, so I ordered this part and fits right in. The price quality of is good and the price is decent.

My problem is that I have some intonation problems and will have a try a TonePros AVR2 to try to fix that.

I would really like if Gibson would make a "modern" version of this bridge type, and take care of some of the deficiencies in the original design.

I have used this on a Gibson SG standard after the original tune-o-matic got worn out and made tuning difficult so a luthier recommended me to replace it due to possible previous corrosion during shipping and depositing.
I later found out I have very sweaty hands and therefore the saddles got corroded and rendered the guitar impossible to tune on the ABR-1 as well.
It was an restoration when i first placed on my guitar, but i later found out that the bridge size was inappropriate for my guitar. It was smaller and the saddles had a much shorter range for tuning. I worked my way with it a couple of years until it got corroded beyond any hope of tuning and changed it for a Tone Pro's.
Overall it wasn't an improvement to the first one and didn't help too much with fine-tuning but overall it did it's job.
I recommend anyone who wants to change the bridge on a Gibson to carefully measure what they have and find something with the same specs as websites were very vague on such details when I got it.
