Great replacement part
I own a 95' Gibson Les Paul Classic with a ABR-1 style bridge. The old one was overused and corroded, so I ordered this part and fits right in. The price quality of is good and the price is decent.
My problem is that I have some intonation problems and will have a try a TonePros AVR2 to try to fix that.
I would really like if Gibson would make a "modern" version of this bridge type, and take care of some of the deficiencies in the original design.

OK
I have used this on a Gibson SG standard after the original tune-o-matic got worn out and made tuning difficult so a luthier recommended me to replace it due to possible previous corrosion during shipping and depositing.
I later found out I have very sweaty hands and therefore the saddles got corroded and rendered the guitar impossible to tune on the ABR-1 as well.
It was an restoration when i first placed on my guitar, but i later found out that the bridge size was inappropriate for my guitar. It was smaller and the saddles had a much shorter range for tuning. I worked my way with it a couple of years until it got corroded beyond any hope of tuning and changed it for a Tone Pro's.
Overall it wasn't an improvement to the first one and didn't help too much with fine-tuning but overall it did it's job.
I recommend anyone who wants to change the bridge on a Gibson to carefully measure what they have and find something with the same specs as websites were very vague on such details when I got it.
