Looking for a Replacement Bridge Recommendation.

[RacerR]

Hello - this is my first post on this forum.

 

I have a Gibson Les Paul DC Studio, and it has the Melody Maker style slanted wraparound/soapbar bridge. Getting the intonation set correctly on this guitar does not seem possible, so I'd like to install an adjustable wraparound bridge.

 

Is anyone here aware of an adjustable wraparound bridge that will work as a replacement for the Gibson Melody Maker slanted soapbard bridge?

 

Note: This is the slanted wraparound soapbar bridge (Melody Maker), not the straight wraparound soapbard bridge (Les Paul Junior).

 

Thanks, any recommendations are appreciated.

Hey man, welcome to the forum. I'm not sure of a specific replacement bridge/tailpiece, but I'd recommend checking this link:

 

TonePros

 

They have some pretty awesome replacement bridges. I think I remember seeing some wrap-arounds on there. Good luck!

I've always in the past used the Schaller 456 because it has the addition of fine tuners:

Cool - thanks.

 

Does anyone know the Post-to-Post measurments for this kind of Bridge (slanted Melody Maker style wraparound)? I don't have my guitar with me at the moment, and I need the measurments to order a bridge.

 

Thanks again.
