Schaller wraparound bridge plus#

And if the tailpiece holes were drilled later, how did they mount a bridge on the wider (3-1/4') spacing? So here's my question to the group: If the Schaller was installed at the factory, why did they also drill for a standard tailpiece? Is there another type of bridge or vibrato that uses two sets of tailpiece spacing? Any help is greatly appreciated. If the holes for a standard bridge were drilled (2-3/4' spacing) and then later spaced further apart to accommodate a wraparound bridge, I'd see evidence of previous holes and dowels (it's a translucent red finish). The best non-locking replacement bridge for your Gibson Nashville or Heritage Schaller bridge Whats This For Direct replacement for Nashville Bridge on. Here's the unusual part.the bridge has studs and inserts that are spaced for a wraparound tailpiece, but there's also studs and inserts for a standard tailpiece. I pulled it off with the intention of replacing it with a standard tune-o-matic.

It's a Schaller 456 wraparound bridge with fine tuners. I bought a 70's Les Paul today with an unusual bridge.

I've considered the Pigtail, but I'm content with the Schallers.Hello all. I'm not convinced the Baby Grand is the most. However from what my experience is, the I think there's a better design that would allow for restringing from the rear or top, there's a better design that would weigh less and be more sympathetic to the resonance of the guitar. If you have a guitar that needs adjustable intonation. '57 Classic pickups with exposed black coils, wraparound bridge, nickel. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order Pickup. Schaller tuners, nickel - plated hardware, aged faded cherry finish. However, when I decided to throw the stock wraparound back on- that guitar came alive!!! I left the Schaller off. Read reviews and buy Schaller Guitar Bridge Signum at Target. I honestly don't remember a difference in tone or anything when I replaced the stock wraparound with the Schaller. When I got annoyed with my 58 LP Special being slightly out of tune past the 7th/9th fret. When I got my Epi Olympic, it was missing a bunch the bridge/vibrato components, so I got a Schaller 455 to put on there. More string travel- so it actually intonated on my guitar, and it was easier to restring. When I first put one on a guitar in 93 or so- I thought it was superior to the Badass it replaced. I've got the Schaller 455 on 2 guitars and another sitting in the basement. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. The Baby Grand's 'break angle' behind the saddles seems shallower than the Schaller, so does that affect sustain? And the Schaller is by far the heaviest, which apparently is undesirable. The Baby Grand and the Schaller are easier to change strings on, which is a consideration for me. Of the three the Baby Grand and the Pigtail are aluminum, which is somehow supposed to provide a 'better' sound. I've narrowed it down to the Hipshot Baby Grand, the Schaller 455, and the Pigtail bridge. So now I'd like to get a high-quality wraparound so I can intonate the guitar properly.

Plus no more tuning issues as with the Vibrola (every time you tighten one string it loosens another.) And no obstruction from the Vibrola arm.

Instant Trainwreck!!!! Sustain for days and completely balls-out. Recently I installed an 'el cheapo' compensated wraparound bridge (compensation for the G is better than the original) and was completely blown away. I had a custom-machined tune-o-matic made so I could still use the Vibrola plus intonate the guitar. I've got an old Firebird III that came stock with a short Vibrola and a compensated wraparound bridge.
