And that makes total sense to me. Those steel bushings are impressive.
This is exactly something I have been thinking about as I have one of my Les Paul's which has a Nashville Bridge and I want to convert it into a ABR-1 . What is the easiest and best way to do this ? Who should I buy this from ? Should I just get the conversion posts and if I did would that mean I could use a Gibson ABR-1 on top of the conversion posts ?
From who can I purchase the conversion posts please ?By far the "easiest" is to use the conversion posts. No mods needed. No risk of damaging the coupling between bridge and body. A simple swap and done.
Gibson ABR-1 fits right on.

How do you deepen the bridge holes for the press in Faber inserts? Drill press? Man, that would make me nervous.
Thanks for the link . Mucho Gracias
Put Faber system on a 97 Studio i re finished. Cost a bit, but like it a lot. Used a drill and a hammer to mill out the added length.
Having said that, I put the Faber system on my 80 KM just to see if the "upgrade" makes all better. It did not. Some machines play awesome just the way they are. So, On my 97, it was a great addition.
And added brightness.

Great parts, super great service , and great prices !Great replacement parts, American made, steel and cost is almost a third less than other makes.
The conversion posts are cheap, no work needed and you won't be messing up any parts so you can easily swap back. They all fit so there is no worry there.
