Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
The Custom Shop say it is brass. When I changed mine to a nickel plated brass, there wss an improvement in the overall sound. No matter what, I don't think it is brass.
Received my Four Uncles ABR -1 today. I compared it to my Faber and the original bridge from my M2M 59. The FU is more mid and treble sounding than the Faber. I think it is because it has less bass than the Faber. It sounds closer to the M2M 59 bridge than the Faber, but without the harsh metal...
Had the same experience when I changed, thumbwheels and post to brass, and installed Faber abr-1. I have ordered the Four uncles abr-1, hopefully this will be and upgrade to the Faber😊
Do you want hide glued top? This is not vintage correct, but might sound better? Then you need 2013 or later< True Historic or 2017 or later< Custom Shop.
