I have one on my vintage Gibson 56 single cut special, love it. But to be fair I haven’t tried any others on this LP.

That's a great guitar and sounds lovely too, it's also got one of the nicest necks

I will be getting you over in the new year with this to get some specs, if you're bored that is

I had a mojoaxe compensated bridge on my LP Special for about a week.  The intonation was better but the tone was shot to pieces.  It was like an SG, all top and middle with a very light bottom end.  Hated it.

I've heard many who have said that tone can become so iffy/brittle when they fit certain wrap overs - Not necessarily always the same brand 'at fault' - but it does tend to be an issue that crops up from time to time 

I'm sure it was to do with the weight of the thing -it was beautifully made and light as a feather - not even a quarter the weight of the Gibson one.

Hmmm interesting thoughts guys

ABM ones are great if the look doesn't bother you.  Have one on my Special and it intonates spot on.

Looks the same as rockinger which is cheaper or was when I bought one

I've got both and they're exactly the same.  I assume Rockinger buy them from ABM (maybe vice versa but I think ABM's an actual manufacturer?).

Faber do a version, which is pretty good, milled compensation, depends on the guitar it is installed on though.

I bought a Faber one quite a few years ago and it was a standard aluminium tailpiece which they'd milled/routed to give the compensating "steps" for each string.  The top edges were - still are, wherever it is - razor sharp.  It put me off Faber a bit but they've become very well-known and well-regarded, so I'm sure their wraparounds are more refined now (they also offer a few different types).

Ive never had any problems with plain wraparound bridges. Intonate the E's and the rest are near enougth.

Oh no they're not (in many cases....)

I have a spare one in my drawer in case anyone wants to save the import tax!

I went down the Faber route on my special, intonates perfectly.
