good Nashvill/ABR1 hybrid
I bought this bridge as a replacement for my rebuilt Epiphone Les Paul Special II, as I didn't like the pot metal shimmer and lackluster intonation space.
The bridge is a hybrid of the ABR version, which has a wire, and the Nashville version, which is wider. This bridge combines the best of both versions. It doesn't have the potentially rattling wire of the ABR and isn't overly wide, so that you have to raise the stoptail. The intonation space is wider than my stock bridge. The height is adjusted with a flat screwdriver, the intonation with a cross-head Philips screwdriver.
The bridge comes with both bolts and studs. The parts are made from zinc. The bolts and the bridge have a chrome coating, the bolts have their natural color.
The studs and bolts were longer than the stock ones, so I reused the existing studs. This meant I couldn't screw the bolts all the way down to the body, but such low action is impossible anyways.
The saddles are pre-notched at the same depth for all strings. This is fine for normal width strings, but people who top-wrap their strings and use thicker gauge strings, might want to notch them a bit deeper.

Nice drop in replacement for Epiphone
Used as a drop-in replacement for a completely rebuilt and refinished Epiphone Special II, which had a rattling bridge. This one is much better, more sturdy (a bit more heft to it, which is good), and doesn't have the screw-retainer wire so rattle-free.
However, I would have liked a bit of filing of the string slots, as all slots are the same width. A luthier can do this quite easily/cheaply though.

Verkeerde radius.
Wordt door Gotoh verkocht als brug voor metrische gitaren met 12 inch radius. De brug zelf heeft inderdaad een 12 inch radius, maar dat is juist het probleem. Dikkere snaren wil je hoger afstellen dan dunnere, waardoor de radius van je brug feitelijk groter (platter) moet zijn dan 12 inch. Mijn gitaar speelt nu dus ook minder lekker.
Verder is de brug wel van topkwaliteit. Voelt stevig aan, is mooi afgewerkt, en de klank van mijn gitaar is voller én feller.
