I just got a Tonepros tune-o-matic style bridge that I think I want to try on my SG. The saddles (the six little metal plates where the strings sit) on it don't have notches, which I thought was cool, but I just checked on their website, and they say they have "Un-notched saddles for professional installation."
I used the search function and found this:
which is interesting, but I'm not sure that was the same type bridge I have (but probably yes, since it was a LP). Should I even try it without notches? What's the best way to do the notches -- small triangular file? Should I punt and take it to someone who knows what they're doing?
I really don't have any complaints about the bridge that's already on the SG -- I actually bought the Tonepros thinking I'd use it on the Antoniontsai SG clone that I have, but then realized that it uses an Epiphone-style metric-big-post-hole style bridge (just like my buddy at the guitar store warned me
). So I figured I'd try it out on the Gibson (where it looks like it'll fit) just to see what happens.
I used the search function and found this:
I put a replacement bridge (abr-1) on my LP, and it was the same way; uncut. I asked the guy a tonepros about this and he suggested I just run it without grooving them. I've played it this way for nearly a year with no problems, i.e. string slippage, intonation problems, etc.
