Gibson Nashville to ABR-1 bridge upgrade

I want to remove the Nashville bridge, I prefer the ABR-1 design. Don' t ask me why, I don' t know... My eyes prefer the ABR-1 style, so only for cosmetic.

I think that I will use those parts : Black Nashville anchors, conversion posts and Gibson ABR-1 bridge.

 

Why not use a Faber ABRN-bridge? ABR that fits the Nashville posts. I have one on my Les Paul.

Newer Gibson's use the same anchors, they just swap out with new posts when using the ABR-1

 

Another option is the TonePros NVR bridge. Basically an ABR for Nashville holes (Like the current Gibson USA ABR) and you get a locking bridge as a bonus. I have them on my 2018 SG and my 2012 LP Traditional.

 

Talk to Lonnie about the Creamtone Kalamazoo conversion. Badabing, badaboom, you have studs into wood, and you're back to Kalamazoo.

In all seriousness, I've done the conversion on 3 guitars, and I can't recommend it enough.

 

I play whatever type of bridge comes with the guitar, but a Wraparound bridge is my favorite bridge design.

Keep it simple.

 

Black Nashville anchors - conversion posts - Gibson ABR-1 bridge setup is awesome, perfect.

May be I will use a Faber® ABRH

Faber BSWKIT is screwed into the body and ready to receive ABRN '59 bridge.
