Fransie Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Hi everyone, last week I bought a SG 2011 and discovered that the bridge was not genuine. I took it off and at the bottom it said: Tronical; I unscrewed the bottom and I saw all kinds of coloured wiring that obviously went into the (previous) guitar. Not being able to turn this bridge lower, (never hurt of the name, by the way), I'm now looking for a genuine bridge. Just a genuine Gibson sg bridge, not the most expensive one. Do I, by ordering, have to measure the screwholes or are they alle the same? Does anybody know where I can buy such a bridge? Kindly regards, Frans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) You'll have to look at your guitar to check if the hole pitches have been changed to accommodate a different bridge. Probably not, as that would be difficult and devalue the guitar. So probably a replacement Gibson bridge should drop straight in. To check sizes, try StewMac. The Gibson compatible bridges on their site are accompanied by fully dimensioned sketches, so you cant go wrong. Their bridges are very good replacements too if you want to consider a 3rd party option. Edited June 26, 2021 by merciful-evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Tronical was the company that made Gibsons Min-Etune system. Either your SG had it originally & everything was removed, or someone dropped the TOM bridge on the original studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
