Fantastic product
Andrei G 13.04.2018
I bought this bridge as a replacement for the stock one on an Edwards EX75 (Explorer clone from the 90s).

The build quality is great, and compared to the stock bridge, this one provides more space for the saddle to move, therefore better intonation adjustment, and the posts will slightly improve sustain. The saddles are nicely fit, they don't cause any unnecessary noise and they move nicely when adjusting intonation.

Be aware of the following:
-I personally needed to drill holes for the new posts since these are way thicker than the original ones.
-The saddles are barely notched, if you play with heavy string gauge, like 56 on the low E for example, you'll definitely want to make deeper notches.

Bottom line:
The Gotoh GE103B is a fantastic product, and it made a huge impact on my instrument's performance. 5/5

Sounds amazing, has made a massive improvement to the sound and the look and feel of the guitar. I installed this together with a Gotoh GE101ZS and Graph Tech black TUSQ nut.

Only negative is the mounting posts were too small for the pre-drilled holes in the guitar (2002 Epiphone Korean Les Paul), but the M8 thumbwheels fit perfectly into the original mounting posts.

Solid Bridge

This one's a great bridge. Last time I took the wrong modification, and I couldn't install it, so had to repurchase. This one now works great. I feel like this is much more sturdier than my previous bridge that had the spring-fixed saddle adjusters.
My only gripe with it is that I had to get it to the luthier to file the saddle notches for strings. Those are very tiny, and I'm not sure which gauge they're intended for. Seem too small for any kind, while I use a 12 - 60 set.

Excellent quality

I was thinking about buying the Schaller equivalent, but this bridge in combination with the Gotoh tailpiece is definitely better when factoring in the price. It has that undoubted Japanese quality about it.

Gotoh GE103B-T CB Review
Andy_P 15.05.2013
First and foremost, a decent product if you're looking to replace your faulty or existing bridge. It feels really well put together and the action, when adjusting for intonation is really smooth. I did, however, find the saddle cut-outs to be on the small side. Most of them aren't too bad and, so far, I haven't had a problem with any strings coming off their saddles apart from the bottom. I use a .58 (B tuning) and it's respective saddle needed filing down a little for it to stay put. With a standard set, i'm sure it'll be okay. As said, the rest of the strings (.13, .17, .26, .36, .46) are fine.

I order this because i want black bridge. This is great replacement, fit and install well also. Paint and color looking great, don know haw time will last but for now its seams that is good quality. I play guitar with 011-054 Ernie Ball strings and they fit perfectly on it.

Japanese Bridge
Anonymous 05.01.2015
I put a Gotoh bridge on my esp ltd ec 401 fm after I wore down the original bridge.I don't know if my hands are too rough of maybe I palm mute too heavy but I'm hard on guitar bridges.I wore the chrome finish off of the bass side of the original bridge and the corner of the low e saddle.The Gotoh seems to be made out of better material.After a little over a year I've wore some of the black paint off but the metal seems to be holding it's shape.It's also a very tight fit.Like it's just a little bit smaller than the original was.It doesn't just drop down on to the posts....I have to put a small amount of pressure to make it fit but then it stays in place.Set up and intonation is easy...like most TOMs.I would recommend replacing any cheaper bridges with atleast a Gotoh or better quality any day!
