Wrap-around Combination Bridge for Les Paul Junior / Jnr, etc, Badass

Difficulty fitting

I would have preferred if the unit fitted the existing posts, or if the posts provided threaded into the existing threaded lugs, and neither did meaning I had to extract the existing lugs which was extremely difficult on a 50 year old guitar. Also the new lug barrels were loose and required mounting tape the get a friction fit. They also had a lip which meant that even with the posts as low as the could go the action was still way to high...like 3mm at the 12th fret on the high E. This necessitated a lot of filing of the saddles - about half way through them. Also the bridge itself has too much room to rock back and forth on the posts. But I got the job done and it looks and sounds grand. In short I'm sorry I didn't go for a more expensive model. I know this is not what you want to hear, but Its best to be honest so that you can address these issues. Thank you and sorry.

Nice upgrade for fine tuning

I put this bridge on my LP jr. I’ve have a white LP jr and I wanted to change up a lot of the hardware from silver to black to match the P90. I thought I may as well try a different style bridge as I was changing it up and it seems to work great . I did have to sing it down as low as possible as it’s slightly higher than the standard wraparound and I also adjusted the screws so it sits back a bit further as I found this a bit more comfortable for palm muting . It’s a very quick install but takes a little while to set up again afterwards. I had to adjust the pickup height again (I made shims out of EVA foam so it’s adjustable). Then of course you can fine tune the intonation, which is the reason for the upgrade. I did the set up over a few days as I had new string on and wanted to let everything settle but ones it’s all set up it great. The bridge is solid and looks cool. Easy to install and gives you the advantage of fine tuning. Sound wise I can’t really tell the difference between the original wraparound but this is most likely because it took a few days to set up and settle in, it’s not instant perfection. I will say though , I’ve been working on this Epiphone Les Paul Junior for a couple of months to tweak it up and have recently been to visits the Gibson Garage and tried out some similar guitars that don’t really hold up against this one bang for buck. I would really recommend getting cheaper guitars and doing the upgrades yourself.
