Hi every one !
I request your expertise about the upgrade of my 2001 gibson sg standard.
For instance there's a standard Gibson abr1 / tail piece on it. The aim is to get a more open sound, more brightness and more woody tone. I had a similar issue with a sg jr reissue from '05 and the aluminium compensated wraparound from ABM cured the problem. So I think aliminium is the way to go. Pigtail bridge are out of budget. I know they are highly recomended and available in zinc or aluminium. so here my options :
- Faber bridge (made of 70% zinc 30% aluminium) with brass saddles
- Faber bridge (made of 70% zinc 30% aluminium) with titanium saddles
- ABM bridge available in stainless steel, bell brass and aluminium ( I don't what is the material of saddles I suppose they're made of brass)
In every case I think I'll combine it with an aluminium tailpiece.
So what do you think ?
Thanks !
