Iv been asked to replace the Nashville Bridge on my mates Chinese made Gretsch. Was looking to keep cost down as he is a bit skint so was looking at Gotoh. Yep that will do he says. Took the old one off to measure and its got 73mm hole centres. Gotoh are 74mm. The only one I could find was a Kluson bridge made specifically for the Epiphone Sheraton 11 at nearly double the price of the Gotoh. Does anyone know of any other makes spaced at 73mm. Seems a bloody odd thing for the Chinese to do using non standard spacings when everything else is spaced at 74mm on the Chinese market????

Wiring diagram here, although not the usual layout its not rocket science: https://i2.wp.com/daftparagon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/wpc_077d_edgecastcdn_net_00077D_gretsch_support_schematics_wiring_Tone-Pot-Circuit_pdf-2.jpg
Im a bit tempted to completely re-wire it to remove the Master volume also now as its not required. make things as simple as possible. Have the Pickup on the end terminal and the guitar Input on the center of the Volume pot. Id left the harness pretty much as is just in case he wants it reversing.
