Replacing bridge on '95 Studio


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone, this forum is an awesome resource, I've learned a lot just by lurking through and reading.

I've got a '95 Studio that I picked up a long time ago -- I've got a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket now, and while I was *this close* to just picking up something new, I've played this guitar for 10 years, and I love her to death. That said, I think I'm going to drop a few bucks on giving her some new bells and whistles.

I've seen the TonePros wraparound bridges recommended a few other places on this forum for the '95-'96 models that use the Wilkinson hardtail, but I'm curious whether anyone has any input as to whether this actually improves the sound/intonation or not. I do a fair bit of playing in C standard (Queens of the Stone Age-ish), and everything gets pretty sloppy when I'm tuned down that far. Would the Tonepros bridge with the locking studs help? Anything else you would recommend? Thanks.

Regards,

Matt

I put a Tonepros on mine not long ago. No discernible difference in tone to me, but for certain there's increased intonation capability. I don't think the folks at Wilky had big-time drop tunings in mind when they set the saddle length for those wraparounds.

Chris, where did you pick up the TonePros from? Did you get the posts and locking studs?

It was included with another guitar I bought, but I put it on the Studio instead. It came with all the parts I needed. That's about all I can tell ya. BadgerDave knows a lot about the TonePros stuff as far as specific questions like metric versus standard, etc.

What?

Pussy.

I never said I took advantage of that capability. I was simply stating a fact. I put the TonePros on there because it looks cooler.
