Late 1950's Gibson ABR-1 nickel no wire bridge. I believe this is from '57. I own a 1953 Les Paul Standard that was converted to '57 spec. Whoever did the work also fitted the guitar w/ PAF's, a '57 harness, & other genuine late 1950's Gibson parts (knobs, bridge, tailpiece, etc). It seems likely they cannibalized a 1957 Gibson for all of the parts.
Please note that the saddles are modern wide top brass replicas. The bridge & screws are vintage original. I've tested vintage saddles vs modern brass saddles on other original ABR-1 bridges & it makes no difference to the sound. On my other vintage guitars I typically use modern saddles & store the originals in the case. The only vintage saddles that cannot be replicated are the old nylon saddles. For brass it makes no difference.
