replacing the tune-o-matic bridge in an Epi SG

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm in the process of modding my old Epiphone SG G-400 and now I'm looking for a good replacement bridge that will fit my guitar and not cause me to go out of tune when I use my Bigsby vibrato. Right now I'm looking at the Graph Tech ResoMax NV1 and GB-0596-010 Chrome Roller Tunematic from "AllParts." I'm pretty sure I need something with a large post diameter (6mm), but do you all think a roller tune-o-matic style will make much of a difference when I'm using my vibrato as opposed to the traditional style? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I should use as a replacement bridge?

I fitted a Stewmac roller ridge to my Dot Studio ( I'm in Aust.) and it was tight but do-able. Great bridge, it is adjustable at the posts for better intonation adjustment, and everything locks with Allen screws. Good sustain because it's clamped to the posts and really comfy for your hand to rest on, my Bigsby no longer causes me any tuning probs.
