TonePros Tune-o-matic/Tailpiece Set

[Longhair]

Is the TonePros Metric Locking Tune-o-matic/Tailpiece Set (large posts) a drop in replacement for the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2012?

I believe Tonepros are already installed on all the Standards since 2008

Metric is not. Metric are for imports.

What is the difference between the metric and standard versions?

What is the difference between the metric and standard versions?

The USA Gibson Guitars use an Imperial thread on the mounting studs, same with PRS. If you have an Epiphone or PRS SE, the mounting studs use a metric thread. The metric and Imperial threads are not interchangable. I'm assuming thats what you mean?

Long story short, I have the metric bridge in black that I am unable to return or exchange.

My new plan is to pick up a Gibson Les Paul in Blue Mist and replace all the chrome hardware with black hardware.

Then no, it will not work
