Roller Bridge Replacement for 1996 Reissue
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2014 5:45 pm
A while back I bought a used Model 1996 AGF reissue with a poor substitute of a roller bridge. I've searched and read through these forums and I know (?) that most guys probably take these of and replace them with the standard (non-roller) bridge -- maybe this is why the Ric Boutique does not sell them...? Anyway, I'm going to give it a try.
I want the best and most authentic replacement available, and posted somewhere here is this offering:

This seems the best... well, actually, it's the only one I can find. They also sell a compensated baseplate which has me curious. There is a warning about different (truly vintage vs. modified/"new" vintage) baseplates. I have no idea, however, how authentically vintage the baseplate features/dimensions are on my reissued model

Any advice about replacing the bridge with the best correct roller bridge assembly would be appreciated. Thanks.
