Hey all, my girlfriend has a very nice ES-330L, one of the more recent Custom Shop reissues. It's a great guitar and she loves it, but she's having problems getting the bridge fully intonated. I read online that this bridge is an ABR-1, which has less travel for the saddles, and that a Nashville style bridge might work better. I have a couple of questions about this though -
1) ABR-1s are supposed to be screwed directly into the body, but on her guitar it's screwed into metal posts/bushings. Is this because the bridge has been swapped out, or is it just because they have to do this on hollow bodied guitars?
2) If it is an ABR-1, is there a drop in replacement Nashville style bridge or will modification be necessary? Thanks.
