The rare Gibson tune-o-matic bridge lives again!

Straight from Gibson Guitar’s Historic Re-issue guitars come Gibson Gear’s new Historic Spec series—parts that have been specially designed to replicate the original parts used by Gibson in the late 1950s.

With this Historic Non-Wire ABR-1 Bridge, Gibson has re-created the famous non-wire bridge it used on its electric guitars until 1962-63. “GIBSON ABR-1” is featured in raised letters on the base of the bridge. The vintage bridge also includes unnotched saddles.

About bridge & tailpiece measurements

Bridge and Tailpiece Measurements Snippet

String spread is the distance between the centers of the outer strings on a bridge or tailpiece.

Saddle radius determines the arc formed by all the individual saddle heights, and is similar to the measurement of a fretboard.

Stud/post spacing is the distance between the centers of the mounting posts of a bridge or ‘stop’ tailpiece.

Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles
Nut slotting files work great for metal saddles. Choose your file size as you would when slotting a nut: use the same gauge as the string, or a few thousandths larger. After filing to the desired depth, we suggest polishing the slot with Mitchell’s Abrasive Cord to remove file marks and burrs.
