Epiphone Les Paul ABR-1 bridge replacement.

[nickmoose26]

Hey guys, I have an Epiphone Les Paul that I play a lot but the current Nashville bridge keeps breaking strings. Now the guitar is already modded internally so why not change the bridge and maybe the tailpiece. I am aware of conversion posts for import guitars but are they worth it?, and which brand should I go with as well?..

Well, if you're breaking strings, there's something wrong with the bridge.

I would suggest that you get a tube of the Big Bend's Nut Sauce and apply a very tiny amount to the saddle grooves and the nut grooves. If it works, and it should help a lot, that's a cheap fix, AND it should help with tuning stability. I'm a big fan of the stuff and use it on all my guitars at every string change.
