KAISH Chrome Guitar Roller Saddle Bridge Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Roller Saddles For Epi Les Paul,SG,Dot,Bigsby Guitar with M8 Threaded Posts

Perfect fit and finish on my Gretsch G5230t. Very easy to slip right onto stock bridge stud posts without bending or pounding. Excellent replacement part for this guitar at a low price. This roller bridges fits perfectly without hassle and looks like a professional job. This inexpensive roller bridges fits perfectly on this guitar. Be aware that much more expensive roller bridges do not fit nearly as well as this Kaish roller bridge. Spending more on a similar item, sometimes 5x as much, may not fit or sound as good as this one. A bird in hand is worth 100 in the bush. It also sounds very good and the guitar continues to sound super good, with greatly improved tuning stability.

This was a drop in replacement for a vintage SG and it worked well, I liked that the screws were a perfect fit so I installed in 5 minutes. I did have a couple of stiff screw on the Kaish but just added a drop of 3-1 oil and worked back and forth to make sure all the screw adjusters were easy to adjust so no problem with the adjustments and it all seems to work great the quality is higher than I expected. I had to replace a harmonica type bridge, I was having tuning problems with the original I think it was because it was getting crusty and had metal corrosion even though I kept it clean and would use graphite to lubricate the string contacts it would go out of tune after a few songs of playing, now I have had it a couple of months I think there is a big improvement! it stays in tune and I even feel a slight improvement in the sound but that might be the intonation being more stable. I was going to replace the bridge with a Kluson Harmonica Tune-O-Matic Bridge but did not want to spend $130 right now, I am very satisfied with the KAISH at this time, I also bought a metallor tune-o-matic style guitar stop bar tailpiece both were a good choice to keep my SG in looking and sounding good. I will keep the originals and may see if they can be restored in the future. Good luck and good tunes!

Decent piece for the price. If you're hesitant, go ahead with the purchase. Before you install however... pick up a "Good" #1 std. Screwdriver & Quality lubricant. Dry film (graphite) lubes are okay. I prefer liquid penetrants with white lithium personally. Generously lubricate the rollers and the intonation screws and run the saddles the full length of adjustment several times each to save yourself from binding later on. I put a strip of tape over the blade of the screwdriver to prevent falling or scratching the slots or finish of the screws. Be certain that no lubricant is left behind , use a cotton swab to reach difficult areas, so your guitars finish isn't adversely affected in any way. Installation went very smoothly on my Epiphone ES335 Pro and the bridge has performed flawlessly in the few months I've been playing with it. It is a fairly heavy unit cast from some zinc alloy but it isn't lightweight pot metal crap. It helped with setting intonation & keeping it locked in. It also has added quite a bit of sustain in combination with the tailpiece I installed. The bridge is tight on the posts in a good way, no slop or rattles and adjusts height wise easily also. Together they totally out-perform the stock bridge & tailpiece in every way. The finish is very nice as well. I dont see getting a better setup guess you want to spend a hundred bucks or more for a machined billet piece. I'm not all that convinced the difference would be any more than negligible but some audiophiles or highly technical full time professional musician may? notice a difference and invest for recording. I can think of better things to spend my cash on personally, like the graph tec ratio locking tuners I installed at the same time. Fantastic machine heads! I left a review there also. The important thing, imo is how it sounds to your own ear & whether you enjoy the sound, or not. For the price this isnt a huge gamble. Keep making your music friends it frees spirits and rescues souls.✌ P.S. the one star I knocked off because of the pre work I had to do. Alleycat

This is the first (so called!) "drop in" bridge I've bought that ACTUALLY dropped right in on my Gretsch! Like everybody with a Bigsby, I've been fighting intonation and tuning issues, so I wanted to try a roller bridge. This one was my last try effort. Id bought three before that people said would "drop right in" and none did, but this one DID! Now, I did have to unscrew the stock stud posts and screw in the ones that came with this bridge, but that was ALL I had to do! No major work to the guitar. No pounding or gluing. Just two screws out and two screws in. Very happy with it and will probably buy one for my OTHER Gretsch, as soon as I'm sure it's the tuning remedy I think it's going to be. :)

I put one of these roller bridges on a IYV 300 that I use for church because I was breaking strings . I've been playing guitar and doing repair work for over 40 years. I was certain that the bridge was the problem. I looked at a lot of replacement bridges and settled on this chrome beauty . The quality is very good but make sure to spray the fine threads of the roller adjustment screws and slide mount of each screw .I believe any lube that is applied at the factory dries before shipping. The bridge hiegth adjustment posts that come with the roller bridge are a direct replacement for the IYV and my Epiphone 339 without using the new body anchor posts supplied in the kit. I use DADARRIO chrome 10s for the great sound and string life .They are not cheap strings but with this roller bridge, once stretched, stay in tune for days of playing and recording.I feel that every "tune o matic" style bridge should be changed to this Korean made, Kaish quality bridge. I own 17 electric guitars ,several will be getting retrofitted with this rock n ROLLER bridge. PS.... very easy to change out and intonation is very precise due to the fine threaded adjustment screws. You don't have to have a Whammy bar setup to benifit from this bridge. Save frustration when tuning ,lube your nut and let the rollers do what they do when tuning. Jamm'n Jerry , Linda's squeeze, Bear, DE. USA

I'm a heavy-handed player, which means I tend to change strings when I break them, not when they wear out. At least, that used to be my story. Tune-o-matic bridges come stocked with those strange sharp triangular string saddles. So long as your string gauge is light enough to nestle into the little grooves they've filed into those saddles--and so long as no metal burrs develop--you're generally okay. But if you like heavy strings, detune, and have a rough touch... you're going to get pretty skilled at changing strings more frequently than you really need to. The rollers on this bridge replacement absolutely stop that cycle. I don't know why they aren't standard issue, but here we are. Every time I buy a guitar with a Tune-o-matic, I swap them out with roller saddles. They're just that good. Installation's a breeze, too. In my case, all I had to do was remove the stock bridge from my Explorers, and then just slip these babies onto the old pegs. Inotation actually goes smoother, too, since your strings just roll with your adjustments rather than scrape; there's no need to loosen the string completely before changing saddle position. Every few string changes (which will from here on out be done because the strings have lived their useful life--not because you broke them), remove the bridge and give it a shot of WD40 to keep the rollers turning freely. That's it. That's all the more maintenance you need to do to these. Easy-peasey, lemon-squeezy. (Speaking of lemons, be sure to oil your fretboard while you're changing strings. Your axe will thank you for it.) If the rollers do change the tone, my ears certainly haven't heard it. Palm muting feels the same, and even with very low tunings there's no rattle. It's a simple solution to Barbarian Bar Chord Syndrome, and will probably quickly pay for itself now that you're not changing strings every few days. Give it a try!

This bridge is solid and works very well. I have a chrome one installed on a Gretsch Streamliner and it definitely helps with intonation stability. The reason I'm returning this one is because the gold color is more like a rose gold and the difference is noticeable against the rest of the hardware. Even the "clone" armrest has a better golden color!
