ABR-1 bridge on '69 Deluxe

[jgyn]

Hello all-
As previously posted, I was thinking of replacing the nylon bridge pieces with metal on my '69 Deluxe. Now I'm thinking of just dropping in a whole bridge with metal pieces, like the Gibson ABR-1.
Would this be do-able?
thanx,

Can't see why not. I would just drop a new one on there and throw the old one in the case. Sounds like a good plan.

Go for it, but be sure and check your thumb-wheels when you get the bridge off to see if they are wobbley/lean and not snugg, as you may need to change them.
