Aoresteen Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm thinking about getting an Epi Les Paul Jr with the wrap-around bridge. Can these bridges be replaced with an adjustable wrap around bridge? I see replacement bridges offered for Gibson but no mention if they will fit Epiphone models. Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-Wraparound-Stop-Tail-Bridge-for-Les-Paul-Jr-/260809751610?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3cb978fc3a Thanks!

Great little guitars, those Juniors, after you have upgraded them. I have two of them, with one being my main guitar. There are lots of threads on this forum about Epi Junior mods, and a few that address your question. Start here: Newbie Junior Mods Lots of great links to other mods in that thread as well. Some great reading to be had. One of them discusses how you can replace the bridge, but may have a problem with high action, and sometimes the replacement bridges will suck some of the tone out of the Junior. I believe it was Whitmore Willy who has extensive experience with replacement Jr bridges and had come full-circle with them, staying with the original. This lead me to not replace mine and I was able to set the intonation on mine to be almost perfect. I'm only offering a little of mine, and others, experiences here and not trying to dissuade you in any way from doing what you'd like to do. There are solutions to the problems listed above in the links provided in that thread. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm thinking about getting an Epi Les Paul Jr with the wrap-around bridge. Can these bridges be replaced with an adjustable wrap around bridge? Yes! And there are many models around. So....read this carefully and keep this in mind....You get what you pay for!!! http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/76958-beater-guitar-part-4/ Best thing to do is to take good measurements of what you have...What it will take to replace it... And then call or email to make sure the company has the tail piece that will fulfill your needs. Just a thought, Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
