Members mmcquain Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I recently swapped pickups and installed a new wiring kit in my Les Paul Custom. Well, while I'm the upgrade mode I thought it would be a good time to replace the gold ABR-1 that came stock on my Gibson CS-356. I prefer the Nashville type bridge on my Custom (yes, I know it isn't "historically" for Les Pauls but this isn't about a LP, but is for my 2004 Gibson CS-356. I'm looking for ideas on the best way to do this would be... since the studs are spaced different I can't just pull off the one bridge and slap on the other. But I don't want to have to drill the top on the CS-356 either. Anybody making a "conversion kit" for the different studs? I am trying to get away from the wire on the ABR (mine buzzes even after I tried to tighten it down) and I like the longer range on the Nashville when it comes to setting the intonation, etc. So anybody got any ideas?

Members mmcquain Posted January 5, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2013 After more research I ended up ordering the TonePros AVR2 G-Formula replacementbridge. It should be here next week and I'll do a report once I get it installed.Here's a pic that is similar to what it will look like on my CS-356 (albeit I don't have the Bigsby, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
