Some days ago a friend came to visit me who has a beautiful Burst replica (it has a very C shaped type 58 neck). The guitar has really nice woods and is equipped with a set of Wizz PAFs... All the right things in the right places (glues, finish, etc...). Speaking of bridge, initially his guitar had a Gibson Historic but he wasn't satisfied with the sound. He therefore decided to take an FU given the great feedback he was able to read on-line. Well, you won't believe it but when installing the FU he complained of a "wrong" sound. He didn't have buzz or anything like that he just didn't like how he sounded. He hadn't touched anything other than the bridge and so that had to be it. Together we installed an old wired Gibson ABR-1 patent number, the one with the foundry brand, with a set of new "block style" soft brass saddles taken from an Ebay shop. I can't describe his face to you at the first chord!
