Where can I get a good quality roller bridge to replace T-O-M please

ROOG

Chaps I'm looking for a quality roller bridge to fit a modern epiphone, a web search finds US companies, but are there any good suppliers in the UK? Cheers

GuitarMonkey

AxesRUs have some reasonably priced I think.

£17.50 any good?

CH Guitars have them for 12.50.

They also have THESE and THESE

Ta, chaps, I note that they all come with new bushings that push fit into the guitar body, are these all the same size?

TBH, when I replaced the dog-pooh T-O-M on my old Jazzmaster, the posts for the roller bridge just screwed into the anchors in the body with no fuss.

Thanks @impmann, I did wonder, I tried to measure my existing bridge and I recon the stud/post that sticks up is 6mm in dia, the thread part is around 8mm and the studs/posts are about 74mm apart, I was beginning to think that they might all be the same, but looking around the internet suggests some variation.

I used the Nashville one on my 2014 Challenge offset and am very pleased with it. 

 In the 'Technical Specs' tab against each are the critical dimensions - check the peg distance is the same as your epi (almost certainly will be) and also whether your present pegs are 4mm or 6mm.  If they are 6mm, you would get the 6mm nashville.  If they are 4mm, you have the choice of the 4mm nashville or the very fancy looking Wilkinson one

Ah Ha, so they are called "pegs" thanks @Andyjr1515 :0)

By the way, the new pegs should screw into your existing bushings (or, if not, just use your existing pegs).  

There should be no need to replace the bushings (which can be a bit hairy at the best of times and can cause major damage if not done properly)

I've seen them called all sorts but, coming originally from Wolverhampton, I thought I may as well use a word that confuses not just some people but everybody  )

Should Epiphone ones be metric or imperial?

Good question, how could I find this out?

 

Thinks, just as well I didn't order one today!

Ok so they are posts now, but are they imperial or metric posts that is the question of the moment?

GuitarMonkey

Metric for all Epiphone guitars made outside USA.
