An ABR-1 Tune-o-matic at the Heart of the Gibson Sound

The ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge is one of the components that defined the DNA of Gibson guitars. Designed in 1954, it established a benchmark of simplicity and functionality that remains, for many guitarists, the ideal formula: a reliable, straightforward bridge focused on performance. Thanks to its "in-body" installation using a stud and a separate thumbwheel, it offers a solid foundation for the strings and a very musical response.

Adjustments, Playing Feel, and Sustain: The ABR-1 in Practice

Whether you are seeking comfortable action or impeccable accuracy across the neck, the ABR-1 is designed to let you finely adjust intonation and string height without wasting time. This efficient connection between the strings and the body contributes to a vintage tone and generous sustain, ideal for styles where notes need to "hold" and sing. This OEM part is offered here in a chrome finish, and is also available in nickel or gold finishes.
