Nashville to ABR-1 Black conversion posts

EynonjEynonj Frets: 45
Hello!

Looking to amend the bridge on one of my guitars to an ABR-1. I've seen that there's conversion posts around, but they all seem to be in either Chrome or Gold.

Can anyone point me in the direction of black conversion posts or a way that I'm able to convert it to an ABR-1 in another way?

Cheers!

    If no one makes a black conversion post, the alternative is to pull the pushings out, *plug* the holes and screw in a pair of black ABR1 posts

    Sadly all nickel or gold in that style…Faber ones

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

    FYI, the Faber ABR fit the Nashville studs on my Gibson LP Studio without changing the Nashville posts that came stock. 

    Depending on the guitar/spacing/ABR bridge, you might be able to simply buy black Nashville posts and slot an ABR bridge on it.

    This is true, if it's a Nashville with the small 4mm posts an ABR-1 should fit.  If it's got the wider slot-headed posts you're out of luck.

    Be careful quoting nashville posts and spacing as they are a fair bit different to ABR-1

    Here is the Faber guide and the models for each option
