    Just arrived unplated Badbird II! Test installed on my 2001 Gibson Thunderbird. They didn't send me metric anchors so I had to wing it. I am very pleased wit the results!

Very clean, very neat!  Mounting studs come next?

Excuse my ignorance, but is it a direct replacement for 3-point bridges?

Yes that is the purpose. A more 60s like bridge with the advantages of the tail piece,  that being no windings on the saddles and a greater angle string break. Plus it looks much better; )

What will prevent it from tilting?

This bridge uses the same double collared anchors as the Badbird. I may have a single collar anchor made to back up under the front of the bridge.

The separate tailpiece should keep it from lifting.
