Nashville & ABR1 bridges

fnpt

Is it a direct interchange between a nashville and one of the modern ABR1 bridges which come with the larger posts? Putting it another way, can I replace a nashville bridge in my LP Traditional with a modern ABR1 one?

I believe the post spacing is different between Gibson ABR & Nashvilles, but there are aftermarket ABR1 style bridges that will drop in

The spacing is the same you just need some of these or similar

Aren’t Gibsons current ABR bridges on their USA models just ABR style bridges that drop onto Nashville posts?
I had a drop on replacement for my 2016, I’ll see if I can find an old email receipt or something

It was an ABM 2500

Yes but I suspect that the holes are 4mm like a Nashville so an old Gibson one won't fit

I thought the op meant can he put one of the new style ones on? When he said ‘the modern ones that come with larger posts’
Either way I can for sure that an ABM 2500 will go on without having to change posts 

SteveRobinson

Ah yes that's right, it should drop straight on then

Thank you for the replies. I'll check ABM and Faber to see what the options are.
