A lot of people prefer the Nasheville bridge better. These are great pieces. When you buy it though its not going to come ready to play out of the box. you have to cut slots for the strings and maybe even cut down on the size of the saddle to match the fret board profile. If you don't do this then you'll have problems like the guy before me was talking about with buzzing.

...BUT it will not interchange with the Nashville Tune-O-Matic. The studs and stud mounting devices embedded in the guitar body are different sizes (Nashville is larger diameter). So if you are thinking of swapping out a Nashville TOM for an ABR-1 you have some additional work ahead of you.

Other than that, it is a nice genuine Gibson replacement part for those with ABR-1 already installed. Good quality, but always overpriced.

The "b" string buzzed at the bridge and could not stop it. Had to send it back. The high "e" string also had slight buzz that couldn't be stopped. This was because of looseness on the slides.
