Murph Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think the ABR-1 wins because of the design. Just me? Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Eye prefer the ABR in design though not sure of sustain difference. It's by design. The smaller #6 screws into the maple, like a lag bolt. They ring true like nothing else. It can't be done with a Nashville. The sustain is for days, ES-335? Just sayin'. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I have both, tough call. In theory I can see the ABR-1 having more sustain. Do you touch your tubes with bare hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:oilpit: Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ABR1 is technically superior, but my LPs have Nashvilles and they sustain just fine. There are a lot of other factors that go into sustain, another thing is, most guitars with ABR are higher end and have better wood than their Nashville equipped brethren, so it's tough to really know.
