Anybody have a 12" radius replacement bridge for a Gretsch Space Controller fitting 2.9" posts? Cut for 11s would be perfect.

Cheers,

    Hi Cam. You also need to measure the distance from bridge post to bridge post. On many Gretsches, this distance is 2.9”, but some pro line models use 3” spacing.  You need to make sure the Compton will fit before you buy it. 

    I also recommend the Tru Arc lowrider.  I find the regular model a bit too tall. Also, if it’s a floating bridge, get some rosin. Rub it on the base of the bridge, and it’ll hold steady even with the most enthusiastic palm muting.  

    Best of luck

    Paul :)

    Sorted... just ordered a new tone chambered brass one. Man, I'm loving that Country Club. Can't stop playing it. If the Compton makes it even better, I might actually have to take it to bed with me. :)
