I hate the big Nashville bridge, to upgrade your SG with an ABR-1 bridge check Faber, Callaham, TonePros, etc...

 

The cheapest and the best solution is using Philadelphia Luthier Tools conversion studs with a real Gibson ABR-1 bridge.

I choose black because the Gibson is Trans Black ,

 

 

 

NEW ! Nashville studs made for the Gibson ABR-1 Bridge:

An SG '61 Ri made before 2003 has a Gibson ABR-1 bridge and nickel hardware.

 

Why do you hate the Nashville?

"Tone gods " prefer ABR1 bridge

 

but are they right?

anyone?

I'm going to buy a used 61 reissue SG. Reading on forums about this model quite a few people have talked about the ABR-1 bridge on pre-2004 models as being far superior to the Nashville bridge they started using in 2004 and recommend getting one from that era. Does it really make that much difference? will I be happy with a post 2003 61 reissue?

Cheers
