Original 50’s Gibson ABR-1 “no wire” Tune-O-Matic nickel
These are getting hard to find and quite rare.
I used this one for a very short time as a replacement for a sacked bridge on a ‘57 Les Paul, but this is still like new. Straight as an arrow. The brass saddles are gone, but it does include the correct screws. They didn’t change the years right after.
The box, brazilian rosewood support with studes and thumbscrews, screwdriver and nylon saddles are vintage, but from a few years later. They were introduced around ‘62/‘63. But they too are like new. Obviously the ABR-1 is the star of the show here.
Fixed price at 950,- Euro’s (no trades). I know this is a lot, but they are rare, and also what I had to pay to get this pristine example. Only way to go if you want original replacements.
