Cyphre Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I just dealt with the same issue on my Korean-made, Samick-built Epiphone Dot from 2001. It is nearly impossible to find a drop-in replacement. Everything seems to be 74mm these days. I bought a Wilkinson roller bridge and it didn't fit. Solution: I took a drill and made each post hole on the new bridge about 1mm larger. Fits now. My guitar tech said that this was a common solution to the problem. Good luck! I want a Sheraton too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Arnie, did you get your bridge problem solved. I was curious what you did to fix the problem, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome to the Forum Arnie !! we LOVE our Sherris here.... i'm not sure, but either Stewmac, or Allparts (.com on both) might have your bridge....if not, installing new saddles isn't very hard to do, as long as the sizes(width) are right if & when you get a chance, i'd love to see a pic of the Red Sheri...and any other geets you have. here's my Sweetie, I play it as much as, or more than, my Gibbys.... only change i've made is installing 18/1 Grover Supers w/Imperial buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
