Hi guys,
Happy owner of an oxblood 54 RI from 2004.
Only "issue" is when I have to change strings, which can be a bit difficult because of the wraparound bridge being so close to the bridge Pu ring.
Well, now i've read that the earliest oxbloods made in 97 before they became a production run, had a bridge Pu ring that wasn't as tall as the ones fitted on the models after 97, this should make it easier to change strings.
So , does anyone know the height on the rings mounted on those 97 oxbloods or is anyone able to tell if gibson actually produces PU bridge rings in different heights ,so it's actually possibly to buy and try it out?
If anyone here actually have one of these 97 oxbloods, please tell more about it?
I think the 97 had prototype pu's, but other than that and the before mentioned PU ring, are there any differences?
Best Regards
Torben
