Still too expensive - but........

What's your beef with the ABR-1?


i can hear it rattle through the amp and the posts don't go all the way through. i want something more solid.

mark - that guy was interesting, no?

[Prages]

I'm not sure I have ever had an ABR1, though my Edwards may have one...I'll have to check when I get home. I know my Gibson is a Nashville style.

If the Edwards is an ABR1, I've never heard it rattling. I know it's got the skinny posts that screw directly into the wood, but I don't think it's got the wire retainer like an ABR1.

I'll check when I get home though.

Interesting, yes. smi

nearly $500 for a Les Paul bridge? I would have smacked him if those prices were posted in their booth...

[telecaster911]

I have 2 guitars with ab-1's and they don't rattle idn_smilie

[Prages]

Just looked at the Edwards. It's got the wire retainer and no rattle. idn_smilie

[Mark Wein]

neither of mine rattle idn_smilie

[Help!I'maRock!]

well apparently i have dog ears, because i can hear it on every one i've played. that said, this is why they make replacement bridges, so wackos like me can get through the night.

[Mark Wein]

biggrin

Now I'll have to go try and make mine rattle tomorrow when I get into work...

[telecaster911]

I played mine tonight and it DID rattle... I traced it to this in the control cavity.
