Thanks Del Yes I believe this is the fat bridge as my 92 has the same one. I think the problem is finding a replacement due to the string spacing? As long as it's in good shape it shouldn't be a problem...hopefully someone else replies with more info as I'm pretty new to the older MIK sherrys.

I have read a thread on this forum somewhere saying that some bridges (not sure if its this one) are not kind to strings and wanted to know if its worth getting a roller bridge which I understand is a different post spacing than the later models? The guitar is generally in good condition but does need a clean and the strings look like they have been on it since new! Any advice would be much appreciated.

burchster Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I always have my guitar set up by a tech but as long as your saddles aren't damaged and allow and hold a set up it should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I will strip the guitar down, give it a good clean and re-string, check the intonation and see how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
