AMAZING QUALITY!!!
I bought a second hand used Chibson (Chinese Gibson Copy) that had one problem: bridge were centered to what has been painted instead of the guitar dimensions. This made the bridge to be 1.5-2mm to the wrong direction. Since I was installing a tremolo to fix the string holder, the bridge was the second step to be adjusted. I found this product, amazing, I could just adjust the distance of the strings and also place then in the right position without damaging it when using the tremolo!!! So many features!!! And, I had a small problem (I've misplaced the strings over the tremolo, dumb me, first tremolo I ever had on a Les Paul). I've email Schaller company and got a reply... FROM DR LARS BUNNING! Managing Director / Owner of the brand. How many times have you had an email replied like that?!|
Amazing support, amazing product, saved a guitar a lot of people would not think worth of saving (I know, a copy, but, really, the guitar sounds amazing, neck is smooth, all is good, and saved by this bridge that someone FINALLY put the definitive final regulation a guitar was missing - you can adjust string's distance to your hand now! No matter what Les Paul you haver...

A word of caution
This is a beautiful bridge. The quality is excellent and it offers great adjustments.
Schaller make excellent products.
I bought it as a replacement for my 1970's Aria TA60.
I haven't used though. It is my stupidity but although I measured my guitar very carefully this won't fit my guitar as a direct replacement. The mounting bolts supplied with this are a very different size to the ones on the guitar and this is the point.
The photos on the website don't show the underneath of the bridge. If they did I would have seen that it is very different to my guitar's existing one. The diagram photo does give very good measurements so I blame myself entirely for this.
My only reason for sending this review is to send a note of caution to would be buyers that you may find yourself having to make pretty big adjustments to the body of your guitar in order to make this fit. I'm not confident enough to do this myself so this bridge remains unused. I hope this helps.

excellent bridge
I have bought two of these now, and found them to be excellent in quality and function. One was for an Epiphone Les Paul, and the small threaded inserts fitted straight inside the bridge post inserts in the Epi Les Paul. Easy to fit and the roller saddles make string positioning and spacing perfect. Intonation was easy and almost dead right as fitted.
The second went on a Gibson Supreme Les Paul. The string positioning on the standard bridge left the 1st string further in on the fretboard than the 6th string and it didn't run over the poles on the pickup. (bridge post inserts slightly out of position in the body). The threaded Schaller bridge posts screwed straight into the Gibson body inserts so was fitted easily in minutes, and the adjustable roller saddles allowed me to set the perfect string position and spacing. Brilliant. And again the intonation was almost spot on as fitted and easy to adjust.
If your Tune-O-Matic rattles it will sort that out too.

High quality replacement for my Epiphone Rivera P93
Used to replace the original bridge of my Epiphone Rivera P93 (great guitar, not so great hardware). Much better the original in terms of quality, finishing and general engineering. Though a little different tone of gold when compared to the Bigsby, I'm very happy with the replacement until now.

Great value roller bridge
Not a direct drop in replacement for my Gibson Firebird, but once the adjustments were made it worked like a charm. If you're getting a Lestrem or a Bigsby, get one of these as well.

Everything that could be asked for
Contrary to what I've read elsewhere this massively improved the tuning stability and sustain of my epiphany let Paul. However not a direct fit as expected had to carry out some minor modification. I do believe that it is direct fit to Gibson.

Best bridge I've ever used
It's just perfect. I've never used anything like it.
It's replaced the ToM on my Les Paul (no trem). It rings clear as a bell and sustains into next week.
Great micro adjustment and now my intonation is perfect on all strings right up the neck. I do wish the adjustment screws were cross-head and not slotted, however.
So stylish and beautifully made, oh man.
Now I have to buy 3 more...

Very Satisfied
I have it installed on my Harley Benton LesPaul vintage white, looks just gorgeous!
They should just provide BETTER MOUNTING OPTIONS! and for gods sake a manual!
As for the quality of the metal and finish is very good, the rollers and overall performance are good. I'm satisfied enough cause it works, looks good and I could mount it good enough so I don't have to send it back....but they could do a bit of a better job on the mounting part. (it could also be my LesPaul has slightly different dimensions)
EDIT: After one year using it I'm quite satisfied with it, I can really recommend this one.

Quality Job
Fitted this to my Gibson '57 re-issue.
It's made a massive difference to maintaining tuning.
Would recommend as long as you know what you are doing if fitting yourself.

Schaller STMG bridge
I am very pleased with this super quality bridge. String Intonation & string width can also be adjusted. Beautifully finished too. A real edition to any guitar.
