vomer Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It's been a long time since I looked for an aftermarket bridge to fit a Samick Sheraton, and it always used to be that there were no direct fit replacements available, as the old chunky odd-looking Samick bridges were also an unusual post-to-post dimension. Does anyone know if there are any replacements available these days? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vomer Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Mihcmac, that's fantastic, thanks very much. Edit to add: The listings on wdmusic.com and wdmusic.co.uk are slightly different. On .com there is no post to post measure given, on .co.uk it says 73mm. I've emailed wdmusic.co.uk to ask. (The ebay listing says 72mm.) I also saw conversion posts by Kluson for Samick so you can put a US fit bridge on. It's great to see these, I googled a lot, earlier today but it looked like everyone stopped talking about Samick bridges around about 2010! So someone at Kluson somehow become aware of the problem. And hopefully has fixed it. I'll post again if I get a definitive answer from wd or Kluson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomer Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Had a reply from wdmusic in the UK, "Definitely 73mm. This bridge has fitted some other customers Samick Epiphone's but not others so if your one is 72mm then I wouldn't advise buying this unit. We don't have any at 72mm unfortunately." And a reply from the ebay seller latexandleather who says they are definitely 72mm. Watch this space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should allow a standard Kluson 74mm bridge to fit on the 72mm Sheraton mount, BUT the item description doesn't specify dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
