Low profile aftermarket bridges?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys.

I need a low profile bridge replacement for my Gibson Grabber. The current bridge has a very thin baseplate which restricts my options (And I would prefer to run without a shim if possible. The bass is getting a refret and fretboard level, so its a very touch and go subject if I can use something thats not the original bridge.

So whats the thinnest (Or smallest barrel bridge peice) bridge I could buy?

Cheers!

Rob.

Hey Rob, one thing to consider is string spacing. My G3 is 17 or 18 mm. I put on a 19 mm cheap string through and its ok, but... Hipshot makes one that works, spacing is adjustable. Threaded barrels or other adjustable spacing bridge is recommended.
