Gotoh 510 wraparound bridge

[kramersteen]

Just wondering if anyone has used a Gotoh 510 bridge? I am considering one for a project destroyerhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Gotoh-510-Wraparound-Tailpiece-Bridge-Studs-Wrap-Around-Chrome-510UB-2-1-6-/360468293758?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item53ed95a87e

I've looked at those as a possibility for a Tele I was thinking of building. Whilst can't comment on the wraparound version from personal experience, I do have the 510 TOM on a Warmoth LP and can confirm that it is extremely well made and well worth the cost. The way they are designed, where everything is locked together, means you get very good string vibration transfer to the body. From my perspective, I'd say that either this or a Tone Pros bridge are as good as you'll get.

This is similar to http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Schaller-Stud-Mount-Adjustable-Bridge-CHROME-/330410788945?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4cee048851

The only immediate comment I'd have on that is that the posts can't be locked into the bushings, which you can do with the 510. Otherwise it looks well enough made.

Yeah the gotoh locking stuff is good.
