Worked wonders!
I build kit guitars and as you would expect the hardware for the most part is trash. Just recently finished and SG copy and could not intonate it period ordered this bridge and it was a miracle installed it, reset neck relief and bridge height did a complete set up and this SG is now a real player. The nice thing about this bridge is you can micro adjust the intonation with the movable saddles including being able to invert them if you need more adjustment This is a quality piece of hardware at a very affordable price, I would not hesitate to recommend or use one again if needed.

Great bridge
I have had this bridge installed on my Epiphone Les Paul Studio LT as part of a total upgrade, paired with new wilkinson traditional style tuners and new pickups and electronics. It is a joy to play compared to my other les paul with a standard bridge. Resting my palm on the bridge feels so much more comfortable with its rounded edges. The tuning stability is amazing. I can pick it up two days later and it will still be in tune.I installed another rolling bridge on a Firefly Double cut with a bigsby tremelo and the tuning stability is much better than what it was before. I won't say it's perfect but it is significantly improved.

Good purchase for Oscar Schmidt Gold Top
Bought this for my recently-acquired Oscar Schmidt gold top LP. First off, this new bridge is very comfortable and resting the wrist on this bridge is a pleasure. Intonation has finally been realized on this Oscar Schmidt, as the saddles on this bridge have quite a bit of travel. It looks amazing too! Very hip and upscale for this guitar ~ Make sure you measure the distance between the posts before you order this thing. If the measurements are within 1mm, you should be ok. It was a slightly snug fit, but it fell into place nicely. Tuning, tone, looks, sustain.... what more could you want in an upgrade for your guitar?

Awesome for the price
I bought this to replace a pin tunomatic bridge from a monoprice flying V that I was completely overhauling.I didn't have the tools to cut a fresh tunomatic, so I figured a rolling bridge would be acceptable.This thing is amazing for the price! I typically switch tunings quite a bit (I use it for drop tunings on rocksmith) and it always stays super well in tune, never breaks strings, and I can bend the living daylights out of my strings and it won't go out of tune.I'll totally be getting another one of these for my next project.

Perfect fit for Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro lll
I couldn’t be happier with my new roller bridge. Fit was perfect, finish was perfect and the price was a real value. I couldn’t take the stock TOM bridge anymore, so I decided to try this. Easy fix for tuning instability. Tip: mark each string with a sharpie right on the top of your stock bridge (where the strings sit on the top of the bridge) and measure the string height on both the high and low “E”; that way when you switch the bridge out so you know exactly where to adjust the new bridge. Just line up the marker lines with the top of the rollers and your intonation will be really close to where it was before. Measure and adjust the string height using thumb wheels to your previous measurements and tune. Voila’.

Overall, disappointing
Two disappointments basically. Overall finish a little rough on the edges And does not look as nice as it does in the photographs. The ridges on the adjusting screw wheel which should allow you to raise and lower the bridge are not as crisp as they should be which makes them hard to grip. .… but once you get past that there's a problem that can't be overlooked. The product description Leads you to believe that the rollers actually do roll with string movement. The reason I purchases was to eliminate the problem of the bridge rocking with the motion of the tremolo action as I previously had unfortunately blocking posts which should eliminate that problem do not because the whole mechanism rocks in the threaded post mounts due to lack of machining tolerances Or perhaps excess machining tolerances. Whatever the issue when I use my Bigsby tremolo the mechanism rocks back and forth rather than the rollers which basically makes the rollers unnecessary and obsolete. Kind of defeats the point of the mechanism in the first place. On the positive side the ability to adjust the individual rollers to set intonation is a nice plus in the little bit of lateral adjustment on the whole bridge could be a plus also but those are hard to overlook given the sloppy machining of the post screw mechanisms.

Nice roller saddles and smoother palm rest
Tried these out and was pleasantly surprised considering how nicely these are priced!Was able to get perfect string spacing on a vintage prototype guitar that was never quite right. After years of trying to ignore the old problem this was a great solution and big improvement. Adjusting and locking down the intonation takes some extra time with this design and is just different. But patience is well wort it. Using these now on some others and liking these!

Review for roller bridge
I purchased this set specifically for the bridge. Overall, I'm very pleased with it. I originally had an ABR-1 type tune-o-matic, but it didn't have enough adjustment for proper intonation. I purchased this one because it looked much wider. Fortunately, that was the case and it works well.The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because of two things. First, it needs some set-up right out of the box. As delivered, the individual saddle pieces are not oriented correctly. You have to remove and spin three of them around. If you're replacing a bridge, hopefully, you understand a little about setting up a guitar and realize this. Secondly, the intonation adjustment process is a little more involved than just turning a screw. It's not a big deal once you get the hang of it after the first one or two, but it is more work to get right.Here are a few more observations. The quality is what you would expect from an inexpensive product. While the rollers do roll freely, I needed to take a thin file to the saddle slots on a couple of them to allow them to slide freely. Also, after making truss rod and string height adjustments, I'm getting some minor fret buzz that wasn't there before on the center two strings. It would appear that the radius is slightly different than the old one even though they're both supposed to be 12".

Bien para el precio
Un buen upgrade para una les Paul. Los saddles son de metal curveado a diferencia de el pico tradicional por lo que las cuerdas se te van a romper mucho menos. Vale la pena para mejorar tu guitarra

Pauvre qualité
Pauvre qualité. Les pièces noircisse avec la friction de ma paume, ça ne fait que 2 semaine que je l'ai installé. Aussi, les roulettes sont trop large pour les petites cordes, donc beaucoup de mouvement. Bof, je ne rachèterai pas c'est certain pour mes autres guitare.
