Thanks for your replies guys
The sound files on the ABM site comparing their range of ABR-1 style bridges against an original was a bit of an eye opener.
Of the three metals the brass was my favourite overall, and now I've got a lot to think about... A Faber or a Pigtail for example keeps me in historic tradition and I assume tone, even if that tone lacks the breadth and depth of the ABM..
This is turning into a far more interesting and thought provoking thread than I expected , very cool . If you've
found an ABR-1 not yet covered jump in, as a list of high quality options for those that want to try alternatives to Gibson's ABR-1 might be useful to others.
This, by the way is NOT a bash against Gibson by any means , and your supportive defence is very welcome, so if you think I'm daft looking elsewhere..
