Maestro Vibratoer Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I have an SG Supreme from about 2005. The tunomatic bridge does not say Gibson (or any thing else for matter) on the under side. Can I assume that the original one was switched out? If so, do I need a Nashiville made bridge as a replacement? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobB Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 If you can post pictures, that would be helpful. Chances are, it is original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a small "PW" on the underside (planed waves?). Thanks, Oliver. If it's not original, I wanted to find out what the appropriate part might be, for a replacement. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not original, I wanted to find out what the appropriate part might be, for a replacement. Thanks again Planet Waves does not make guitar hardware other than tuners(mechanisms) and they are easily indentified by the logo. I have 2 Gibsons which came with "PW" hardware as well, so it's authentic. I'm assuming PW stands for Ping Works, which is the Chinese subdivision of Gotoh Japan...

Maestro Vibratoer Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Rich, thank you, thank you, thank you. I plan on selling the guitar and want to make sure everything on it, is original. Evidently Gibson has had several different manufacturers doing their parts for some years now. I mistakenly thought that they were still doing all of their own bridges. Shows you what I know. Keep up the good work. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ping Works hardware, whether stock or aftermarket, is pretty good considering the price. It comes stock on some Fenders as well(relabeled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
