The miraculous effect of GraphTech's Tune-O-Matic Resomax Bridge on my new Tokai ES-335

The guitar https://www.txirula.com/tokai-es198-sr.html is new and I had the idea of changing its original bridge for one of GraphTech Resomax https://graphtech.com/collections/resomax-bridges-tune-o-matic and the sound result and its great increase in Sustain seemed to me something amazing - Guitar sounds through Boss GT-1000

I enjoy listening to you play!

Turns out that these bridges (with the String Saver saddles) were standard issue on Agile AL-3XXX series guitars (I have a bunch), along with Tusq nuts. These guitars are around $400!

My ancient 335s (one of which is a 12-string, both from the mid/late '60's) have nylon saddles (as supplied by Gibson). I've always thought they sounded better than the metal saddle versions.

My limited experiences with graphtech saddles and nuts have been 100% positive.

Didn’t know you were a Tokai guy! Love mine. The real deal in my opinion.

 

[Pop1655]

.......but all your guitars seem to play better than mine. Can’t figure that out.

He the real deal.
Sheesh.

I installed a resomax bridge about 18 months ago - it has already collapsed. Gauge 10 strings - I tend to set the tail piece height for a loose feel - but already this bridge has a dip in the middle. I liked the sound - but this is very, very poor indeed in terms of strength. I have only ever seen a bridge collapse once before - it was the original bridge on a 96 LP.

Not too happy to be honest
