Thread: sourcing hardware upgrades

    sourcing hardware upgrades

    Hi all,

    Now that kits are available without hardware I'm just wondering where folks are getting their hardware, particularly tuneomatic bridges.

    I've been looking for a bridge for my ES3 (gotoh or similar quality) and I can't find one with the correct spacing between the posts.
    They all seem to be around 74mm whereas the pitbull spec seems to be around 73mm.
    I've checked all the supplier sites I know without success.
    Can anyone help?

    Cheers

    Dan

    Hi Dan
    Use the Gotoh bridges on all my builds and havent really had any probs with any fitting any of the pitbull kits. There is usually a little bit of play in the stud posts to the bridge body.
    Any standard tuneomatic should be ok

    ok thanks - I have a gotoh tuneomatic (74mm) which I couldnt get to fit at all. There would need to be a fair bit of play in the stud posts but I'll give it another go....

    cheers
