artandink Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Can I use a Tone Pros or Pigtail intonatable wraparound bridge on a Hamer? As we all know the Hamer's neck radius is flatter than 12". I have a Special K, Talladega Pro and Korina Special (with 2 Pups) I'm thinking of upgrading. Thanks.
Bobby Marshall Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I have not done it with a Hamer but since it seems Hamers use same bridges as Gibson and I replace the wraparound on one of my Gibson USA SGs with a Pigtail intonatable, I say yes, but there are others with direct experience here that can tell you as well.
specialk Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 The Special K comes with a wraptail, so I would guess an intonable wraptail would be fine, provided the stud spacing is the same on the intonable one.
cynic Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I would think your tech (or you) would notch the saddles to compensate for the difference.
coolfeel Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 My Custom Chap has a Pigtail intonatable wraparound on it...
BTMN Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I dont have a device to check but the Tonepros wraparound has a nice lil curve(radius) to it. I just looked the one on my 2009 Dean Baby Z to see if it did. Love the way it functions on this guitar. I ordered a TonePros bridge for my new Dean Split Tail coming soon. While that one is not gonna be a wraparound style, I like that company's products so far.
artandink Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks guys. I'll give the TonePros a try with one and see how it goes before installing on the other two.
Armitage Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I've got a couple guitars with them, and while I can't say I can actually tell a difference, there sure isn't much downward pressure on the inserts.
