joewp Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hey All, New to the forum. Just recently purchased a used Korean Casino that I'm loving, except for the bridge buzz. I did a lot of searching and bought a bridge replacement from Stew Mac, but it doesn't drop right it. So two questions. Can someone link to one that would? Or, would I be able to install this bridge as is? http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts/All_Hardware_and_Parts_by_Instrument/Electric_Guitar/Bridges_and_Tailpieces/Tune-o-matic_Bridges/Gotoh_Tune-o-matic_Bridge_with_Standard_Posts.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPIs and Gibsons usually have the bigger 6mm posts / holes. Easiest fix would be to get Stew Mac to swap? Something like a Gotoh® TI103-B-T would be good (if a bit pricey as it has nice Titanium saddles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, that is a bit pricey for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joe You do not need to pay $100 for a QUALITY replacement. I recently fitted a roller saddle replacement to my WildKat (with Bigsby) which was only £14.79 (GBP). It was a straight drop in job, quality product, easier than a string set change and got rid of all the buzzes, rattles and tuning problems that I had with the standard EPI tune-o-matic! Here's the link to my supplier: http://www.northwestguitars.co.uk/copy-of-high-quality-tune-o-matic-roller-saddle-guitar-bridge-b005/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
