That price seems quite reasonable... Is there much difference in tone and/ or quality compared to pigtail, or other replacements for this bridge? The others seem to be in that $80-100 zone. Thanks for help!
Yep I hear ya! My bridge is a compensated lighting bolt (old style) for parallel posts, but I have offset posts, so I have the grub screw screwed way in on bottom post to help lengthen the strings to get the intonation better. But with the offset posts and a lightning bolt, I'm not getting the right kinda relief lol. Might need to try the locking studs u suggested, thanksI use locking studs like this so the bridge doesn't sit at a funky angle making for a poorer string break: https://reverb.com/item/1272687-loc...tuds-domed-head-nickel-plated-with-us-threads
plus a compensated wraparound. It's crazy Gibson still makes the tolerances so loose the bridges sit off kilter in the studs.

schaller made a stoptail with adjustable saddles. gold and silver, its pretty chunky but worked well on one of my juniors.
