Upgrading Epi Bridge

lukemacauley · 10-10-2009, 10:12 PM

I was looking at the sticky'd thread about Epi custom set up and I was wondering if anyone has a UK link site to the bridge that Roman is talking about, because I am not sure after looking around if I've found the right one.

Can anyone help on the direct replacement for an Epi bridge.

All help is appreciated, Cheers.

Find a supplier of Gotoh bridges - good stuff. There are plenty of sellers on eBay - message them and make sure that you're getting the right one. Large posts, metric - but I've heard that there is more than one large post Gotoh bridge out there.

The thing I'm not sure about, is, if you buy a bridge that is already set, like Roman says, how would you adjust the height? Or am I just reading it wrong and all bridges can be adjusted - so it doesn't matter which one I get, as long as it fits my Epi.

Also, cheers for all your posts helping me out recently diceman, appreciate it a lot!

Roman was talking about and showing a locking tone pro bridge . which is a Gotoh bridge , fully ajustable , the difference is once you have it adjusted you can lock the bridge to the bridge posts via a set screw.

Allparts is the only place in the UK i am aware of. seeing as I am not in or from the UK. Guitar Parts | Bass Guitar Parts | Amp Parts | AllParts.com Don't know if they sell the tonepro could very well do so. But I know have have the Gotoh which is the same bridge minus the locking feature. Get the metric or what is called the large post hole model.

Aw man, it's my stupidity, I understand what he meant now, just one that's a direct fit. I order a nickel Gotoh one the other day, Cheer for the help guys!

Dude, there was such a massive difference! But I just settled with the Gotoh, what an informative thread though.

Thanks!

You all do know, don't you, that you can get graphtec saddles only that will fit the stock Epi bridge for about $25 plus shipping from placed like Guitar Electronics.com? I think they'll fit the other Epi replacement bridges too.
