Roller Saddle Nashville Bridge for Gibson Les Paul SG ES Dot

If your guitar is fitted with a Bigsby or Duesenberg style tremolo, then pairing it with a roller saddle equipped bridge will offer an excellent upgrade, offering enhanced tuning stability whilst relieving the break angle of the strings. Roller saddles will also provide a lesser pressure on your strings than a standard tune-o-matic bridge where a tremolo unit isn't present.

Roller Saddles

The thinking behind roller saddles is to have less pressure and less friction at the bridge, which is particularly useful when combined with tremolo systems for guitars. Even if your guitar isn't tremolo-equipped, roller saddles still provide an advantage over traditional tune-o-matics as the break angle is less pronounced. This means that you won't wear away your bridge saddles over time, a common issue with tune-o-matic equipped guitars. Some players also find that it feels more comfortable against your picking hand thanks to the lack of sharp edges.

Saddle Retention Rings

This bridge utilises saddle retention rings, which prevents the dreaded saddle rattle that's a symptom of lesser bridges of this type. This significant improvement in design means that this bridge will offer a better playing platform, allowing all your notes to ring out to their true potential.

Things to Note

This bridge has 4.2mm post holes to drop over 4mm posts. If you're wanting to upgrade your Epiphone LP, SG, or ES then you will need the larger 6mm posts, so check out our BM005 for this purpose.
