    Gibson 1997 HRF III

    Might be a KMS ? the bridge looks like it has collapsed??? Ordered a tonepros replacement but, it's thinner (not as much travel for the saddles as in the older one ) I'd like to order the same if possible.

    Thx

    Most likely a Faber bridge. KMS has V notches.

    Thx V1k,

    It seems I ordered an ABR 1 when I would have needed a Nashville
    Looking at the pics more closely, I wonder if the bridge has actually collapsed?

    Sending the JPG to Faber and see if they can Id it.

    Bog-standard Schaller-made Nashville tune-o-matic. Hundreds of thousands of these were used by Gibson until the new millenium, when Gibson parted ways with Schaller and started using Chinese-made Ping copies.

    Widely available.
