I don't know if I am buying the metallurgy and mechanical construction used on the reissue abr-1
I replaced the stock unit that came with my historic 57 black beauty with a unit from Germany that was milled from a solid billet of bell brass and the improvement is astounding.
I am thinking much of the tone is being sucked out by the metal used in the body of the stock bridge
here is a photo of the bridge I am talking about from ABM Germany
anyone else purchase this piece - I think its a much bigger upgrade than doing the mapleshade mod
