Hi all,
Finally decided to replace the bridge on my 1989 EG59- 70: so - I've always understood that non-Gibson, 'import' LP posts were metric so I ordered a Faber ABRM metric bridge, post diameter being listed as 4.2mm.
But it's notably loose on the posts (compared to the snug fit of the existing bridge) and the only (non Nashville) Faber alternative with the same stud spacing is the 3.65mm post ABRH version, which is designated *only* to replace old (ABR-1, 6-32) Gibson bridges...
So I'm wondering if there's any point sending it back to exchange it for an ABRH if the looseness is just the way it is with the metric version.
I imagine a few people will have bought a replacement Faber bridge for their Greco LP - any thoughts, guys?
