I mean the stock bridge must have been hammered onto the posts it was so tight and the 'standard' Gibson replacement bridge (with roller saddles) wouldn't go on those posts without drilling 1/8" larger holes on both sides... and even then it was tight. | |

Aug 11, 2019 at 7:45 | comment | added | Tim | 'Studs weren't even straight' - you mean perpendicular to the strings? No real need for them to be, the lower strings are longer than the higher ones. I have the same guitar, and it's designed to be like that. Epi Les Pauls are the same, not sure about real ones, but the logic is there. | |
