Faber ABRL-59NG Locking Bridge Nickel, Inch+Metrisch

I replaced the bridge on my 2016 Gibson LP traditional hp with this, the titanium saddles gave the instrument a needle-sharp top-end I hated. With the most basic istallation without changing the bushings - I only installed the proper Faber studs at this time - there is sunstantial increase in sustain and the tone turned to warm/vintage. The only shortcoming of the design I can see is that the original Gibson Nashville bridge was easier with height-adjustment, now I have to use my fingers to do that. The locking design does away with the Allen key adjustment option. Of course there is some compromise in clarity when you come from titanium, but I rather have my Les Paul sound like a Les Paul proper.

Bought this bridge to replace the standard Nashville bridge on my Gibson ES137. Using the Insert kit, can't fault it. Now I have no need to topwrap around the tailpiece as this bridge is thinner and has a much better connection to the body with the Insert kit. The ingenius locking caps are a great feature, so set it and forget it when changing strings. Definate increase in sustain and clarity.
