I want to try a wood bridge on my Casino Coupe guitar. What is the sound difference between an ebony bridge and a rosewood bridge?
Thanks

My experience is that rosewood has a darker sound with less sustain. Ebony is a bit brighter with more sustain given it's a harder wood.
In my opinion either are a huge improvement over a tune-o-matic. FWIW most of my guitars have rosewood bridges.

I bought one for a TOM bridge... I had the ebony base but I wanted the saddle. I bought a used Gibson part of eBay. It was tricky to find something with the right post spacing.

It did more than changing a pickup. It's an inexpensive way to alter the tone of your guitar – just like strings and picks. Good luck, mate.
