These are for Gibson guitars; to put them on my Epiphone I had to adapt them. You must enlarge the hole at 3mm (pre-drill at 2.5mm, tap at 3mm, if you don't have the tools and the know-how, don't try).
Then file the lttle studs on the sides, or the saddle won't settle down at the right depth in the bridge. That's a little tedious, but brass is easy to work with files.
Once they are in, the difference in brilliance and attack is obvious, I didn't recognize the tone of my SG at first. You must also file a narrow slot where the string touches the saddle, or the string will break after many bends, because it rests on a sharp angle.
Aside from these delicates chores, the saddles are very good in tone. I wish Epiphone would make brass saddles that are compatible with Epiphone bridges, so you could simply drop them in to replace the so-so zinc saddles.

Great replacement or upgrade

Bought these to replace the saddles on a cheapo no name bridge. You can really tell the difference, adds alot of clarity and sustain due to the high quality materials. Definitely worth the money over cheapo brands
Unfortunately there was an error. Please try again later.

ABM 1510N Replacement für ABR-Saitenreiter.
Karsten P. 15.08.2014
Super verarbeitet. Äußerst präzise. ABM hebt sich qualitativ deutlich von den meisten Mitbewerbern ab. Wünschenswert wäre es allerdings, wenn die Kerbung werksseitig getätigt werden würde. Nur die wenigsten haben hierfür die richtigen Feilen, die zudem noch recht teuer sind. Das Polieren der Kerbe ist sicherlich auch nicht jedermanns Sache.
