Gibson ABR-1 Gold Plated Bridge with Nylon Saddles for Hollow Body, Semi-Hollow and Solid Body Guitars.

Gibson ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge “Wired” with Advanced Nylon saddles

The Gibson ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge is one of the many Gibson held patents under the legendary Ted McCarty’s watch in 1954.  The cast metal Gold plated adjustable bridge allows for individual string intonation +/- along with thumb wheels screws for hight adjustment.

The bridge saddles are reversible for extending the intonation adjustment and made of hard tight fitting Nylon with a very sharp witness point for tuning accuracy,  The Advanced Nylon saddles also enhance the rich warm harmonic tones of the solid carved top with the absence of bridge rattle.

The ABR-1 is planted firmly into the solid body or bridge base of the arch carved top guitar, transferring the string vibration directly into the body/top adding brilliance and sustain, along with great tonal definition.

This authentic Gibson bridge was state of the art back in its day and remains a key element today in achieving a true vintage tonality. Be it a Carved Top, Hollow body, Semi-hollow or Solid body guitar, it no doubt has the magic…

Includes Brass Thumbwheels, Bridge Posts, M-5 to 6/32” Conversion Posts “Modern to Vintage” along with a set of gold plated brass saddles.
