Gibson Bridge/Steg ABR-1 Nickel

I own a 95' Gibson Les Paul Classic with a ABR-1 style bridge. The old one was overused and corroded, so I ordered this part and fits right in. The price quality of is good and the price is decent.

My problem is that I have some intonation problems and will have a try a TonePros AVR2 to try to fix that.

I would really like if Gibson would make a "modern" version of this bridge type, and take care of some of the deficiencies in the original design.

I have used this on a Gibson SG standard after the original tune-o-matic got worn out and made tuning difficult so a luthier recommended me to replace it due to possible previous corrosion during shipping and depositing.
I later found out I have very sweaty hands and therefore the saddles got corroded and rendered the guitar impossible to tune on the ABR-1 as well.
It was an restoration when i first placed on my guitar, but i later found out that the bridge size was inappropriate for my guitar. It was smaller and the saddles had a much shorter range for tuning. I worked my way with it a couple of years until it got corroded beyond any hope of tuning and changed it for a Tone Pro's.
Overall it wasn't an improvement to the first one and didn't help too much with fine-tuning but overall it did it's job.
I recommend anyone who wants to change the bridge on a Gibson to carefully measure what they have and find something with the same specs as websites were very vague on such details when I got it.

Da will man für seine Gibson natürlich ein Originalteil haben, und hat damit leider ein qualitativ eher minderwertiges in der Hand. Die Böckchen der Brücke lassen sich zum Teil nur mit Gewalt in manche Positionen, z.B. ganz bis zum Ende - verstellen, dabei hebt sich dann auch noch die Einstellschraube leicht aus ihrer Position. Was die Firma Gibson unter Qualität und Präzision versteht, ist mir manchmal schleierhaft. Da sind die Kopien mancher Teile qualitativ besser als das Original

Un puente casi perfecto, de calidad y con todo lo que necesitas para reemplazar o renovar el de serie. Las dos únicas pegas que le pongo y por lo que no es perfecto son:

Primero.- los tornillos para colocarlo son los originales de las guitarras antiguas (las que meten la tuerca directamente en la madera y no en el post como en las más modernas, así que si quieres reemplazar uno de las nuevas series vas a tener que usar los viejos.

Segundo.- no vienen precortadas las selletas, así que, vas a tener que jugártela si no sabes hacer el trabajo comprándote un set de limas o llevarlo a alguien que te lo haga, y dejarte unos durillos. Es una pena, porque vienen colocadas perfectamente en su posición y si viniesen pre cortadas, sería un simple quita y pon.

Realmente es lo que ofrece el producto en la descripción, pero Gibson podría mejorar el producto un poco con esos pequeños detalles que si ofrecen otras marcas como ABM, TonePros…
