KAISH Chrome Guitar Roller Saddle Bridge Tune-O-Matic Bridge For Les Paul,SG,ES Dot,Gretsch Bigsby Guitar with M4 Threaded Posts

I have an Epiphone Les Paul Elitist. The original bridge worked well, but it had very sharp edges on the saddles. I replaced it with the Kaish roller bridge and found it to be a perfect fit. For installation, all I had to do is lift off the old bridge and set this one on. Do yourself a favor before installation, set the saddles in the same positions as the original for intonation. Also, a few of the screws for the roller saddles were difficult to move in and out so using larger screw driver (more torque) helped loosen them up before installing the bridge. Once on, I was able to fine tune the intonation and completed the rest of the guitar's setup process (i.e. string height, truss rod adjustments and stop bar adjustments).The Kaish bridge is very high quality and weighs about the same as the original. It does not rattle and tuning seems to be more fluid, as it should be with the roller saddles. As far as tone, I still get great resonance that I can feel throughout the body of the guitar. Harmonics ring out just like the original, but I can now rest my hand on the bridge comfortably which helps with string muting. Finally, this bridge comes with its own posts that screw directly into the body. This is not for Les Pauls that already have bushings mounted in the body like Chinese or Korean Epiphones.

Adjusted screws before installing. I used the original post from EPI. The bridge is surprisingly good. A little improvement over bending strings. I recommend it.

If you are buying this for a Gretsch g5420 please note that you should use the original screws and coin-shaped thing that the bridge sits on - new ones are wrong size for this guitar.The bridge and rollers work well with this guitar and it makes the Bigsby feel very smooth.#1 thing to consider is the action. I lowered the bridge as much as possible and the action was a hair higher than I was used to but I did not hurt my playing, just something to consider with this guitar. I didn't not mess with the truss rod after adding this bridge however.For some reason the mounting screws were slightly bent on my Gretsch, so you can imagine that it was not a straight shot putting on the new bridge. I had to use the Allen wrench and turn the screws while pushing the bridge on. But it worked out. I hope you do not have this issue. Regardless this is the best priced roller bridge I could find for my Gretsch and it works, I hope this info is useful.

I'm returning this bridge because of several issues. I spent 2 days trying to make it work on my Gretsch Rat Rod because I saw a couple others say they fit their Gretschs perfectly, but I ended up putting the stock bridge back on it and resolved all of the issues within 5 mins. I'm not going to bash this company because of this one incident. The bridge was $21... it's a $21 bridge. It is built very nicely and I truly am not sure exactly where the problem is... I just couldn't spend anymore time on it to investigate, especially after reinstalling the stock bridge.1. When I first installed this bridge, I noticed how much easier it fit over the bridge posts vs the stock. I thought that was good but I think it may have contributed to part of my rattle. I checked it with the posts provided and it fit loosely over them as well. The thumb wheels felt cheap and unfinished as well, so I reused the stock posts and wheels.2. I don't believe the radius is the same as my Gretsch. I did see someone say they felt it was a 14" radius and my Gretsch is 12" radius. I think they are right. I couldn't get the action low enough (E or e) but I had fret buzz on d and g strings and sometimes on b as well... however, this was before I isolated some of the buzzing.3. The buzz... so ultimately, even after raising my string action back up to twice what it should be, I still had buzzing on d, g, and b strings and started getting buzz on e as well. I could press on the side of the rollers and change or eliminate the buzz which is what led me to putting the stock bridge back on and decide to return this bridge.It would be great if better dimensions were given for this part. It would also be better if the "ears" on the end were not so thick. I think the rollers sit higher than the stock wedge style seats because even at the very lowest setting, the best string action I could get was about .065-.075" which isn't horrible but I would have liked to get it a little closer to .050" especially if I decide to go with lighter strings (I currently run 10-46)

We have found saddles with rollers work best for us with regard to tuning, so we settled on this version after others encountered fitment issues with the pole spacing and fine adjustments. We expect the tone, tuning & sustain to improve once the nut is replaced. Managed to pop the high E string out of the steel roller during extreme bending to test the boundaries of tension, but we don't expect that to be the norm. Wish the rollers were Brass which is our preferred set-up. 😕This was the best option at this juncture for the aforementioned reasons on this tremolo project, so we will amend this review if issues are encountered.

Product was a perfect fitment to my instrument. The roller saddles were the answer to my tuning stability issues, as my instrument is equipped with a bigsby tremolo bridge. Strings no longer get hung up on the saddles. The action is also smoother .

I will preface this by saying I have no experience with high-end roller bridges. For $25, this thing seems like a good deal. It helped the tuning stability on my Gretsch G5655TG immensely, and was a drop-in upgrade. Definitely worth trying on your guitar.

I love how these fit. It sounds like the notes are more clear and have more sustain. I was having trouble with the stock parts.. one of the strings kept breaking. These fixed that. You will have to adjust the height lower because they sit higher. You should also grease the screws and move them back and forth. The legs that come with this dont fit Gibson Les Paul Studios at lest not ones from the 80s.

Me gustó mucho el producto. Lo recomiendo ampliamente porque los postes son justo del tamaño correcto y la calidad de la pieza es bastante buena.

Time will tell if it stands the test of time.My old bridge got horribly corroded over several years from lots of sweaty playing.In hindsight maybe a rollerbridge wasn't the best choice because there's more moving parts to seize up, but for now it's all shiny and nice and I like it!

A little tight but fits over the thumb screws, be careful don't force it if it does not fit

Bout this to replace the saddle on my rare 90’s Gibson Cinnamon burst. Absolutely fantastic. The intonation range is large enough for any gauge I use 13’s. Rock solid. Looks superb.

Tutto perfetto e veloce . Grazie!
