Suggestions for a replacement bridge for a '72 Gibson EB-3....

[Billy Dutton]

Hey TB'ers, I finally pulled the trigger on a vintage EB-3 but the bridge on it has serious issues and the best course of action appears to be find a replacement. I really like the look of the bridge cover, so finding a solution that let's me keep it on will mean the replacement will need to not exceed 3.5 inches. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hipshot and Babicz make replacement 3-point bridges. You may want to reach out to them so that you can compare dimensions with the original bridge.

I would go with Hipshot because their customer service is awesome, and they are willing to work with you on things. Also, I really like their Gibson replacement bridge.

ThAnks Warpeg, I think I'll go with the Hipshoit, but the 2 point ;-) They switched to 3 point in '73

The bridge cover won't fit over the hipshot. The only other 2 point replacement I know of is a Schaller 460(?)
