Firebird VII?

If your guitar has an ABR-1 bridge then you basically need a longer 6-32 all thread rod. Or perhaps you can back the existing all thread rod out of the hole a bit to give some extra range. The chuck of a drill is a convenient tool to insert or remove an all thread rod as long as you don’t mar the threads. If you do mar the threads you can find a 6-32 die at just about any hardware store

Here’s a link to a product sold specifically for Gibson guitars by Faber.

Personally if I were replacing the studs on an ABR-1 I would use brass since that’s what Gibson used to use. If you use stainless steel or something I’d expect the sound to be brighter
