Members ProfaneSam Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I would like to change the chromatic bridge on my Ultra Swede Hagstrom guitar and wonder if a chromatic bridge from a Gibson Les Paul would have the same fit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hard to say. Measure the screw spacing, height and string spacing on your Hagstrom's bridge and then get hold of a Les Paul and make the same measurements. If they match, and assuming the mounting screws are the same, you should be good. Here's one from AllParts with measurements: http://www.allparts.com/GB-2540-010-Gotoh-Chrome-Nashville-Tunematic-Bridge_p_1617.html. First, though, what do you hope to accomplish? What's wrong with the existing bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ProfaneSam Posted May 6, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes tuneomatic. Work nights. Heh. There is some play in couple of the salldes on the existing Hagstrom original bridge and am not so fond of it. Had a Les Paul a few years back and just liked that bridge so much better and how solid it is in comparison. Ill do the measurements and check.

Members DeepEnd Posted May 7, 2013 Members Share Posted May 7, 2013 No worries. Here are some more options from StewMac: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_Tune-o-matic_bridges.html. Looks like they're all fairly similar (but not identical; measure carefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ProfaneSam Posted May 17, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 Sorry for taking so long. The Gotoh Nashville bridge will actually fit right on my Hagstr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 The Graphtech Resomax is another great replacement bridge/tailpiece. They make them to fit import or US spacing and are very nice bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
