• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

    Four Uncles ABR-1 bridge just in and...

    Replaced the (selfmade) saddles of my mid 60`s chrome ABR-1 with a Four-Uncles saddle/screw set. They fit perfectly and most important they don`t buzz in spite of the loose fit and the retaining wire. They are not cheap but the best replacement you can get for your vintage bridge. Thank`s Pat!!!

    Lyre Vibrola vs. ABR-1/Stoptail on 61 LP/SG

    Dear Folks, i try to put together some ideas for my restauration project on my 1961 Les Paul. Would you put a Lyre Vibrola or a ABR-1 / Stoptail combination on it and why? She had originally a Sidepull Vibrola, but i gess this is not the way to go for a player guitar... Thank you in advance!
