Gibson Accessories BRIDGE ABR-1 GOLD

A Gibson Classic Born in 1954

Conceived in 1954 under the leadership of Ted McCarty, then president of Gibson, the ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge has established itself as an essential reference. Its minimalist and functional approach marked the history of the electric guitar and remains today a preferred choice to preserve the "vintage" spirit of an instrument, both in terms of feel and sonic response.

Precision Adjustment and Stable Feel

The Gibson ABR-1 mounts directly into the guitar body using a stud and a separate thumbwheel. This installation ensures a firm string seating and facilitates fine tuning: you can quickly adjust the string height and refine the intonation to achieve optimal tuning accuracy across the entire neck, whether playing open chords or higher-positioned solos.

Vintage Tone and Sustain Delivered

Thanks to an excellent union between the strings and the guitar body, the ABR-1 contributes to a rich response, with good sustain and a characteristic "old school" attack. It is a particularly suitable piece if you are looking for an authentic feel on a Gibson-style guitar or if you want to restore character to your instrument with a bridge that has proven performance.
