LP/SG bridge post advice please

paulnb57

Ive just received an SG from GSPBASSES. and will be fitting a Les Trem, I have these parts, I also have a roller bridge, but need to source the correct posts and bushings, but am pretty clueless about the various sizes and options, as everything else Ive put together is Fender style....
Bushing holes are 73mm apart and 11.5mm diameter
The bridge post holes are 4mm diameter
I can find 12mm bushings with 6mm posts and smaller bushings with a 4mm post, I cant seem to find what I need, so, does what I need actually exist?

I need a 12mm bushing with posts that have 4mm for the bridge to locate on......
In chrome
Thanks

I think I might have some, I’ll have a look.

But before you go any further, have you noticed there’s a huge misalignment between the bridge and tailpiece holes? That’s likely to cause problems, especially with a vibrato, as it will try to pull the strings sideways on the saddles.

Ive ordered the above from DV247, (it might turn up) then we’ll see if there is a bridge alignment issue, if there is Ill just go back to the parts this guitar was designed for....

I think Feline stock all the Faber stuff, something there to suit surely.
