WTB 50’s LP Special / Junior wrap around bridge

MikeCMikeC Frets: 459
The wrap around on my 57 LP special has grooves so the intonation goes out a little as you play at the dusty end. I know these go for silly money and I’m better off with a modern replica but want to try and keep the guitar original. Anyone have one? Preferably lightweight one.

    Dude, buy a MojoAxe and keep the original in the case.

    I know, that’s what the head says. But the heart has other ideas.

    Unless you're playing with a wound G string, surely the intonation will be out anyway?

    It’s actually pretty spot on for much of the fretboard…I think it’s more of an issue with lightning bridges from the mid 60’s?

    I put a Mojoaxe on my 57 Special.
    It sounds way better for me having it play in tune all the way up the neck ( it’s impossible for it to be in tune with the stock one ) 

    So that would also be my vote if you already have the original you can put that in the case
