Tilt-O-Matic cure

If you ignore for a moment that it is made of the most shoddy tin can material imaginable and that you are left to your own devices once those puny plastic saddles are worn away, then it is actually a perfectly workable bride, with no tilt whatsoever and even individual intonation. That is not standard with Gibson's bridge creations as we all know ...

It looks like the Supertone would cover up any original holes anyway. Thanks for those pictures Uwe. I'll keep that one in mind!

That means he found it butt-ugly. He was just trying to be nice about it, sigh!

Not at all! I like it. The only other option would be to use a Dasson bridge with vintage tailpiece. That's usually my first choice but I won't know for sure until I do a mock up and compare to your pics. I actually think it's a great looking bridge.

Yeah, neither have I. Sorry, but I would slap a ~~Badass II~~ Uwe's clarification: one of the ugliest, if functional bridges to ever desecrate the face of this planet! on there and be done with it

Much too wide string spacing.

finding the #$@% tailpiece for a Dasson bridge is tough. I checked Bach and it seemed they want almost 100 bucks just for a tailpiece?? It was in in one o' them thar' furren langajess...

The currency converter I used shows 1720 CZK = $91 USD. It looks like that's for the bridge and tailpiece, not just the tailpiece. Still, seems high compared to the cost of a whole BaCHbird.
