Our Tribute to a legend - the ABR
-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge.
In addition to preserving the look and feel of classic vintage gear, all functional improvements the ONE bridge provides have been carefully designed in a discreet and unobtrusive manner. We call it CONTEMPORARY VINTAGE.
ZAMAK (Zamac) is a zinc alloy including elements of aluminium, magnesium, and copper. Invented almost 100 years ago as a perfect material for diecasting large quantities of metal parts by keeping the costs down. Therefore the original Gibson® ABR-1® Bridge was also produced in this way. The rest is history!
All „Vintage ONE V“ bridges are precisely milled out of highly compressed, custom made zink alloy blanks. The result is the worlds first CNC machined ZAMAK bridge and is surely the most advanced combination of contemporary performance and vintage tone.
Identical to our „ONE“ Tune-O-Matic bridge but equipped with V-Saddles, this bridge gives you the right handling without the need of notching saddles. The deep special designed V-grooves just have the right fitting for all string gauges. No adjustment needed. All strings naturally have a perfect, safe and tight contact surface to the saddles and create a perfect fusion to the the bridge and hence to the guitar body.
No matter if you prefer very light, extremely heavy or mixed sets of strings gauges, our V-saddles take them all. This also makes them ideal for players who want to try out or change different string gauges from time to time. Great tone and tuning stability guaranteed.
Brass saddles are provided as standard and can be considered as the first choice in most cases. To form your tone in an even more specific direction, you are invited to choose from diverse materials or coatings optionally.
