Gibson Type Nashville Style Bridges (0541)
Made by Gotoh, these high quality bridges are sturdier than the ABR-1s which is why Gibson went over to this design in the 80s. Instead of the post being screwed directly into the top of the guitar the bridge uses metal bushings which are installed in the top of the guitar and the posts rest in the bushings. The bridges are slightly wider than an ABR-1 allowing for greater intonation adjustment.
2 1/16" string spacing, 2 29/32 post spacing.

Gibson Type ABR-1 Style Bridges (0520)
Gibson started to use their first adjustable bridge - imaginatively titled the ABR-1- in the late 50s. The early and most collectible versions - termed 'non-wire ABR-1s' by collectors -had no retaining wire for the bridge pieces. The retaining wire was introduced in 1962. Original ABR-1's had 'ABR-1' cast into the underside of the bridge. This was changed in 1967 so that the patent number was cast into the underside. In the early 80s Gibson changed to the Nashville style bridge and the ABR-1 was and continues to be only used on Custom Shop guitars and Les Paul Reissues.
This is a modern reproduction with 2" string spacing, 2 29/32" post spacing and M4 posts.
