Strong match

Who this is for

  • Post-2000 Gibson owners replacing worn or notched stock saddles
  • Players who want a bridge swap without routing or drilling
  • Anyone rebuilding a Tune-O-Matic bridge during a full setup

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Guitars with ABR-1 style bridges — the spacing is different
  • Wraparound, Tune-o-matic-less, or non-Gibson bridge designs
  • Players not comfortable re-intonating after the swap

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 01

Nashville Tune-O-Matic spacing

Nashville bridges are wider than ABR-1 and use different saddle dimensions. Check which bridge is on your guitar first.

Detail 02

Post-2000 Gibson fitment

Gibson changed bridge specs over the years. Older instruments may need a different saddle set even with a Nashville bridge.

Detail 03

Sold as a complete set

All six saddles, so string height and material stay consistent across the bridge rather than mixing old and new.

Detail 04

Drop-in replacement

Saddles sit in the existing bridge slots. No modification to the bridge, body or hardware.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Measure your bridge post spacing to confirm Nashville rather than ABR-1 before ordering
  2. 02Intonation must be reset after installation — budget a setup or do it yourself
  3. 03Bridge, posts, strings and tools are not included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01How do I know if I have a Nashville bridge?

Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridges are wider with larger mounting posts than ABR-1. Measure post-to-post spacing and compare against your bridge before ordering.

02Will these fit my 1970s Les Paul?

This set is specified for post-2000 Gibson bridges. Earlier instruments often use different saddle dimensions, so verify against your actual bridge.

03Do I need to redo the setup after installing?

Yes. Saddle replacement changes the string break point, so intonation and often string height need to be reset afterward.

04Do I need special tools?

A screwdriver for the intonation screws and a tuner for re-intonation. Removing strings first makes the job much easier.
