gfs roller bridge

[alrie]

Got a roller bridge from gfs for my casino with bigsby. Real nice quality hardware. Here is the problem,the post studs and bushings are bigger than stock. I know you can enlarge the holes on the top of the guitar, but i would be afraid to do this myself. Any ideas on forming a bushing to add to the stud posts of the stock ones so the new bridge would fit? Thanks Alrie

If you look on the GFS website under archtop bridges, they have a roller bridge that uses skinny studs. That may or may not work for you. Its a little more expensive because it has the rosewood base.

You have the wrong bridge for your guitar. You need one spec'ed for asian guitars. You don't want to do the additional bushing thing.
