MaxRadin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The saddles are buzzing on the high notes on my Dot Studio so I guess its time to replace the bridge (original). I added a Bigsby a while back but the guitar stays in tune for about 3 uses so I'm curious if a roller bridge will help this. I've been reading about how certain roller bridges can cause a side-to-side motion with the strings which is not benficial. Any suggestions? thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwillow777 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 For my Casino' date=' I just got one from Guitar Fetish that's meant to go on one of those rosewood bases. Works great. http://cgi.ebay.com/Roller-Bridge-Rosewood-Archtop-for-Whammy-Bars-B23_W0QQitemZ180158710292QQihZ008QQcategoryZ41407QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262[/quote'] I got one like the one above from GFS, but that mounts into the existing bushings. I'm gonna replace it cause it rattles something terrible. I also bought one of their Wilkinson roller bridges for my Agile AL-3100 with B70, no rattles and it works great. I'm gonna replace the rattling roller bridge on my Sherry with a Wilkinson from GFS. Some don't like the looks of them, but they work great for me.

MaxRadin Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Do you know which one of the Wilkinson Bridges would fit a Dot with A Bigsby b700? I asked guitarfetish and they didn't know (odd). thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchCassidy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Guitar fetish told me that this would work on dot/sheri type guitars- LINK Your guitar looks sweet! I wanna see some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've got a schaller on my lp and it will fit your dot. works perfectly with my bigsby. 45.00 shipped..german engineering, too. stays in tune.. and allows for better string spacing than the stock bridge. pops right in.. looks.. sorry all. about five times better than the gfs thingy. intonation was spot on. gotoh has one, too, for less money and I think it beats the wilk, too. you can see them at all parts.

MaxRadin Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 thanks for the replies everybody. 6string, do you know the model number for the schaller offhand? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRadin Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 is it this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270285968736&fromMakeTrack=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxRadin Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 OK, I heard back from allparts re: schaller roller bridge: GB 0595-010 @ $45.00, however if your current bridge has 1/4" post holes it is not a direct fit. 1 /4" post holes = GB 0545-010 so my next question: does a Dot have 1/4" posts for the bridge? I know when I changed out the pickups the Epi pickup screws were metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait for someone with some answers to post before I start putting in my order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Not totally sure what you are asking. The bushing for the studs to screw into are 10mm. The stud sticking up for the bridge to sit on looks to be approx. 1/4", but the hardware on Dots are metric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
