GibsonABR-1 Guitar Bridge Nickel
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement Tune-o-matic style bridge in nickel for Gibson-style electrics. For players restoring a worn bridge or swapping a damaged one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a pitted or corroded bridge on an older Gibson
- Restoring correct nickel hardware on a vintage-spec build
- Fixing collapsed or stripped saddle height screws
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with a wraparound or hardtail bridge — wrong mount type
- Players wanting chrome or gold hardware to match existing parts
- Anyone expecting a tonal upgrade rather than a repair part
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nickel finish
Warmer and slightly duller than chrome. Ages and wears through with playing, which is why vintage rigs use it.
Detail 03
Adjustable saddles
Each string sets its own intonation, so you can dial the tuning accurate up the neck after a string gauge change.
Detail 04
Bridge only
Covers the bridge itself. Tailpiece, posts and studs are separate parts on this style of guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing post spacing before ordering — Gibson-style spacing varies by era
- 02Tailpiece, mounting posts and thumbwheels are not part of this
- 03Plan on re-setting intonation and string height after the swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Les Paul?
It fits guitars drilled for ABR-1 post spacing. Pull your current bridge and measure post-to-post centers before buying, since spacing differs across models and years.
02Does it come with the posts?
No. This is the bridge alone. If your posts are stripped or bent you need to source those separately.
03Nickel or chrome — can I tell the difference?
Yes. Nickel is softer and warmer looking, chrome is brighter and more mirror-like. Mixing the two on one guitar is visible.
04Do I need a tech to install it?
The drop-in part is simple, but intonation and action need setting afterward. If you have not done that before, budget for a setup.
