Tone Pros Replacement Bridge

[Sugartune]

If I were to replace a stock bridge on my '05 studio custom, what would I be looking for as a replacement?

Thinking Callaham and their three options are..

- ABR-1 with vintage studs

- ABR-1 w/Nashville Conversion studs

- ABR-1 w/ with Metric studs

I have been told to go with metrics, but I just want to be sure, as I thought there weren't too many US made guitars using metric parts.

Thanks!

one tip, be careful if choosing pre slotted bridges, definitely not a fit for

every guitar, on my les paul the strings were too close to edges...

seemed to rob it of it's tone too...

Appreciate that! I was thinking unslotted for those very reasons, that further validates it for me.

Thanks!

I take back what I said in your other thread. The bridge is imperial while the tailpiece uses metric studs:

Anything that replaces a Nashville should work.

Awesome! Thank you! Nashville it is!

- ABR-1 w/Nashville Conversion studs = this.

Let us know how it works out.

My '04 Newport was a mix of metric and English studs. Can't remember which was which.

How do you pull the studs out? Sorry, I don't know what the measurements are either.
