GibsonNashville Tune-O-Matic Bridge - Nickel
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Gibson-spec Nashville-style Tune-O-Matic bridge in nickel. For replacing a worn or damaged bridge on a guitar already routed for Nashville posts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a pitted or collapsed bridge on a Gibson-style guitar
- Guitars already fitted with wide-spaced Nashville posts
- Matching nickel hardware on an existing build or repair
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars built for narrower ABR-1 posts without conversion parts
- Players wanting gold or black hardware to match
- Anyone needing a locking or wraparound-style bridge
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
Tune-O-Matic design
Each saddle intonates individually, so you can dial in string length per string rather than as a whole set.
Detail 03
Nickel finish
Slightly warmer and softer looking than chrome. It dulls and wears with handling instead of staying mirror-bright.
Detail 04
Gibson part
Dimensions follow Gibson's own spacing, so it drops into current Gibson-spec guitars without shimming or redrilling.
Detail 05
Bridge only
This is the saddle carrier and frame. Tailpiece, studs and stopbar are separate items on the guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing post spacing first. Nashville and ABR-1 are not interchangeable.
- 02Confirm whether posts, bushings and thumbwheels are included before ordering.
- 03Plan to re-intonate and reset action after fitting. Strings must come off.
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 built to Gibson's Nashville post spacing. Pull your current bridge and measure the post centers before ordering, since ABR-1 guitars use a narrower spacing.
02What is the difference between Nashville and ABR-1?
Nashville bridges are wider, sit on larger posts pressed into body bushings, and give more saddle travel for intonation. ABR-1 is the narrower earlier design with posts threaded into the body.
03Does it come with the tailpiece?
No. This is the bridge itself. A stopbar tailpiece and its studs are separate parts.
04Do I need a tech to install it?
Not necessarily, but you will need to restring, set action at the thumbwheels and re-intonate each saddle. If you have not done that before, a setup is worth paying for.
