KlusonUSA® Replacement Zinc Nashville Tune-O-Matic Bridge

This is a great piece of hardware. It was a direct fit on my Gibson and has notches conveniently ready to go. My original nashville bridge had notches that were too deep on the treble side, specifically the high E and I believe this was the culprit for my strings buzzing and choking on bends ughh. So this new bridge appears to have solved the problem and i was even able to lower the action a little with no choking, due to the notches not being too deep i suppose. Before i had to raise my action to compensate for the buzzing and choking, but not now with this quality piece. It's working fine and i recommended getting one as it's inexpensive as well. Thanks.

I needed to replace the ugly black hardware on my Flying V with nickel and I was discouraged by the prices Gibson was selling Nashville style bridges and didn't want cheap Chinese knock offs. Kluson, who originally manufactured Gibson hardware in the "golden age", now subcontract their hardware from Advanced Plating, the same company that makes Gibson hardware today. Exactly the same quality as the Gibson bridge it replaced for a fraction of the cost. Recommended!!

Where do I start. Made in USA, and that’s great! Did not fit my stock 1999 Gibson LP Standard. It’s not quite wide enough. If you completely unscrew the thumbscrews, it would sit down but you have to push it down and the thumbscrews have to bend. And good luck adjusting it up and down because it bends the crap out of the thumbscrews. The saddles and retaining clip/sprigs are fantastic. In fact, I put them on my old bridge. Also, it ships with the adjustment screws facing the rear towards the stop bar which is wrong and would make it near impossible to adjust intonation. So right away you have to swap all of them around and springs are flying all over the place. Seems well build but just isn’t quite the right size to drop in. I suppose you could drill new holes and use the anchors provided but I’m not planning on drilling into my LP any time soon. Keep a magnet close by. The clips are black and hard to see on the floor. I will say one really cool thing is that the saddles are labeled for each string.
