Recomended Replacment bridge for LP Custom???

guitar_man · May 31, 2004

Hi there,

I have a Black Korean Tokai Les Paul Custom with gold hardware and want to change the tune-o-matic bridge for a good quality one.

Has anyone replaced their bridge before and if so what are the recommended ones?

I was trying to find out where to buy a tonepros bridge in the UK but can't seem to find anyone who sells them.

Any help from you guys would be much appreciated. :lol:

Tonepros can be bought from the distributors at http://www.mirep.co.uk/.

Give them a call.

You can order them pretty easily from stew mac in the US too.

I have the tonepro set and it's a great replacement unit.

Remember Tokai stock hardware is Gotoh(metric size) as opposite to Gibson hardware(imperial size).If you search on this forum you'll find a thread talking about it.

Most tonpro harware is gotoh made anyway.

I had the same problem, but I had the posts replaced. I don't think that would be an issue with the MIK models as they have the large, screw top posts.

for what it's worth, I replaced the bridge on my MIK Goldtop with a Gibson ABR-1 ... just opened up the holes on a pedestal drill. Mind you, I also binned the tuners (replaced with a 20 year old set of Grovers I had) and the 0.033 caps and replaced them with 0.022 ones. Whole world of tone difference, and it holds tune for more than 5 minutes.
