GraphtechGuitar Bridge (PS-8863-C0)

I was skeptical at 1st. I have been upgrading my G400 with various parts. Before I started it sounds like complete crap. Buzzing everywhere Dromm the nut to the original TOM Epiphone bridge. After upgrading the pickups, wiring & pots, nut (graphtech tusq), and leveling frets it started to sound much better. But after these upgrades I had this horrible, shrill treble overtone. I upgraded the bridge wth another popular bridge everyone recommended, it still sounded shrill, especially clean. I was about to give up and sell it. I researched the resomax NV2 and saw that others claimed it reduced th treble harshness of their guitars. I had to try it and I am glad I did. Product is a breeze to install, and it sounds amazing! No more treble shrill nonsense, it sounds nice and rich, full of harmonics that seem natural and pleasing. I can't get over how great my guitar sounds now! I didn't even have to file the preslotted bridge saddles and it lined up perfectly. I hardly ever write reviews, but do to my shrill overtone issue and being able t fix it with the product, I had to write one in case someone else has the same issue. It definitely cuts out the overly bright sound of my treble strings, but I wouldn't call it dark with all the other tone it does add. I am now looking forward to enjoying my G400 rather than screwing around with it all the time to get a decent sound. Between the NV2 and their Tusq nut, my guitar sounds great. Thanks.

This thing is awesome. I have an Epi SG Custom and a Gibson SG Standard. Did not fit the Gibson but got the Epi perfectly. Haven't had it long enough to speak to the String Saver functionality. I can absolutely say I hear more resonance unplugged. Hopefully it solves my biggest problem which is string breakage.

Before you take your old bridge out, take pictures and measurements! This was a very easy swap on my Epi LP Pro. I did not change the mounts that are pressed into the guitar body, so it was a simple matter of unscrewing the old bridge and posts, screwing in the new parts, and tuning up. THEN you'll need to set the action and intonation on your guitar. That's where the pics and measures you took earlier may be handy. Mine was fairly close, but I did need to adjust a little. Also, you'll need to flip 3 of the saddles to conform to Gibson/Epi setup standards. Easy. Do your online research and be sure you're ready before you start. I did notice a difference in the tone as well, and smoother tuning too. None of those annoying PINGS while you're trying to tune. Graph Tech parts in general are great, and I'm very happy with this piece too. 2 thumbs up! The gold looks great with my black LP, too.

Bad product. Bad design, Cheaply made and destroyed intonation so I had to remove and return. Don't bother.

Pretty swift upgrade to the war torn stock tune o matic on my go to Epi ZW 2004 Les Paul Custom Bullseye. With the 85 in bridge, 81 in neck setup (Highly recommend this!) this fire breathing LP now has rock solid anchorage and endless sustain. 19 years and this axe just keeps on giving. Don't listen to the negative idiots, play what you need/want and enjoy the ones who Make You Who You Are, like my beautiful wife Aime'e supportive and ever loving. Thankyou Again My Love, xxxx. And Thankyou Graphtech!!!

This bridge is just OK, suffering from an annoying design flaw: the spring/wire intended to hold the saddle screws in place travels catches on the threads and impedes the intonation process. It required a lot of intervention to frequently re-seat the wire and achieve reasonably good adjustment. Context: I wanted to upgrade the stock bridge of an Ibanez semi-hollow, in part because the saddles didn't have enough travel to allow proper intonation. This Graphtech bridge had the same problem; however, as I've learned with their other products, the material is soft enough to sand -- so I was able to thin down a couple of the saddles and achieve correct intonation. In all, though, I hesitate to t recommend this assembly if you're using 10-46-gauge strings.

This part did not fit my Classic Player Jazzmaster. However, a close inspection of the part reveals it is a far superior tuneomatic to what Fender supplies on their guitars. I would not hesitate to use this on a different guitar, it just didn't fit mine.

Drop in replacement bridge for Epi ES-335 pro. Was having problems with tuning stability and intonation. This along with my new ”string butler product” has made this guitar stay in tune WAY longer (like playing 5 heavy rock songs with big bends). It’s actually in tune everywhere in the neck now. Sounds so much better too!!!! The sustain! Wish I had done this combo earlier!
