Members patrickgibson Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 When I originally purchased this Les Paul, it had a wrap around bridge with no way to adjusting intonations on the A to B strings. I took my Double Cut to be worked on and the repairman suggested this bridge as a replacement. I wish I knew the brand of the bridge. This made all the strings sound stronger. The tone is no where as deep as a Les Paul Standard or Classic guitar, this guitar has a beautiful and more versatile sound. This guitar is fun to play and is my only 24 fret guitar. Its lightweight has an advantage. It gives me an alternative from my regular Gibson or Stratocaster. I wanted to post this on the Gibson forum, then Les Paul Forum. Both Forums are not taking new members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rydia is hot Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 looks similar to the badass bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fusion1 Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 Nice guitar there. I've been eyeing those for a while. Looking to score one for cheap. I see them hovering around $600-$800 depending on the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Forums are not taking new members. The Gibson forum isn't taking new members? I find that incredibly odd. I'm a member of it (even though I don't post there), and I had no problems signing up. Double cut LP's are awesome. I've been GAS'ing for one for quite some time. I'm not crazy about wrap around bridges, which is why the newer models appeal to me more.

Members blazingblake Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 I've always like the way those double cuts look, 24 frets I don't know about the space is kind of small and I don't have huge fingers or hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even sent customer service an e-mail listing the three gibson I owned with serial number and pleading to allow me join. It was like talking to a wall.

I see them hovering around $600-$800 depending on the finish. That is about the price range to purchase a used one. A friend of mine jammed with it and thought I paid in the 1,000 plus range. The quality for the price made him wish he owned one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Turner Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 That bridge is kind of clunky, but hey, if the does the job for you, more power to ya I like the TonePros AVT II a bit more. It's less cumbersome and pretty sleek looking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bob the dentist Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 why doesn't it just have 22 frets, you can't reach the top 2 anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrweems Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 I recently bought the Gibson LP Goddess.. It also has the wrap around bridge.. AND I HATE IT. I'm not sure what to do about it either.. Hmm... I like the idea of what you did there. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 Originally posted by rydia_is_hot looks similar to the badass bridge +1. I have a badass-style wrap bridge on my Gretsch Special Jet: It was an Ebay find, the seller had already modded the bridge. I've had no probs with the stock bridge on my Studio DC.

It's less cumbersome and pretty sleek looking: Thanks for the information. That was the only bridge available at the store. I thought it was bulky too, but the beautiful tone made me forget about that. Maybe I might purchase this bridge in the future but I have an SG Standard and Les Paul Classic to practice and jam and I love my Double Cut as it sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
