Members TheBoatCanDream Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hey, I have an electric guitar which is pretty nice except that the intonation is off. The problem is that the warp around bridge is not a tunomatic, so I can't make fine adjustments. Can someone recomend a wrap around tunomatic bridge which isn't too expensive, and comes in metric spacing? I don't need an aluminum bridge. The pickup is a seymour duncan Phat Cat, so it's already pretty bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Drojo Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have a Gibralter Short Stop II wraparound/tuneamatic bridge on the Ibanez S Classic I just got. If you can track one down, it works excellent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheBoatCanDream Posted May 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 I didn't know that Gibralter made guitar parts. I have a lot of their stuff on my drums, I'll check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LaXu Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 It's an Ibanez unit called the Gibraltar Short Stop II. Don't know if it's available as a spare part. Still, you should be able to adjust intonation on your original bridge. I assume it's the type that doesn't have movable saddles but instead you just move the whole bridge using the grub screws in the ends where the posts are.

Right. even moving the whole bridge, I can't get the intonation to be perfect, plus the string spacing isn't uniform all the time - the strings can slide around. I should add that the guitar is a flattop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Drojo Posted May 2, 2006 Members Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have to keep my action low on mine to stay in tune. When I tried to raise it, I started having tuning problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dabbler Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Guitarfetish: http://store.guitarfetish.com/chbastinwrbr.html I believe that I have a guitar with possibly this same bridge supplied OEM. It works. But I would also suggest TonePros locking posts. Mine had too much slop on the posts for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Badass "Style" bridge is a copy. You pay for having the original of anything, guitar parts in cluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
