Wrap around bridge identification

[Feebleknievel]

I have a epiphone sg with the same vibrola as Phil X in this clip, granted his is a Gibson sg.
I’ve been looking for a while for a wrap around bridge that is a direct swap for the normal bridge so I can I remove the vibrola. I don’t want to do anything permanent though. So far I haven’t been able to find one that has the same spacing for the posts. Unless Phil x has had some permanent modifications done to the guitar it must exist.
Does anyone know what bridge it might be? Available in the UK hopefully!!

I don’t believe such a thing exists. That appears to be a wraptail, the post centers are wider than the pickup height screws. TOM posts are narrower.

Not sure if this is the same guitar at a different stage in its life?

More frets ?

Ah yeah good catch… regardless that yellow one is definitely a wraptail with wraptail stud spacing, not a TOM conversion.

It should be easy but it's not... and it's only because of the different spacing. Drives me nuts... because I want a dual humbucker guitar with a wraparound tailbridge... and they're like hens teeth.

Duesenberg makes a bridge that could work if you do it right. The idea is that you use the same holes as the old bridge, but you drill them out to accommodate larger studs.

Sometimes they show up for sale on reverb. https://store.duesenberg.de/en/hardware-parts/31/duesenberg-wrap-around-bridge-74mm-spacing

rshack! I've never seen that bridge before....

this is going to be the only option of a wrap tail stye that fits on a tune-o-matic style stud mount bridge .

unless you have one custom made for you.

Nice find!

The larger / longer studs a probably a good indicator of why direct TOM replacements don’t exist - the TOM studs aren’t designed to withstand the string tension being applied perpendicular to the studs, they just need to be strong enough to keep the action in place. I would hazard a guess here and say a drop in replacement would start to lean forward if the forces from the string tension weren’t addressed.
