Metric ABR Bridge

Hey everybody!

I'm replacing parts on my Epi Custom. I was wondering if there is such a thing as a metric abr bridge. i am picky about details on my guitar, and the screws on the stock bridge make it look like a toy. any help is appreciated.

thanks

Re: Metric ABR Bridge

Take your Epi screw posts to a machine shop and turn them down to either Nashville or ABR OD depending on what bridge you want.

I got some done for $10 and a beer (I went Nashville size and used a Nashville sized Gotoh).

Check Stew Mac for the dimensions.

Re: Metric ABR Bridge

Works great, and in my case the chrome didn't come off the top tip so it looks factory.
