Default Adjustomatic Bridge Spacing and Height Info

Hello Gretsch Folks. I am looking for a replacement bridge for an old harmony guitar and am considering using the gretsch adjustomatic. I was hoping someone could be kind enough to take a few measurements for me. I need the total string spacing (distance form high e to low e) and the range of heights you can adjust it from. Thanks in advance.

I have 2 of them lying here and they are both different. The gold plated one off my 6120am is 2" from center of E to E. The chrome plated one is off my 5122 and measures 2 and 1/16" from center of E to E. The lowest setting is approximatly 13/16" from top of bridge to top of guitar body. The highest setting, about 1". Hope that helps. Have you considered a solid bridge saddle vs the adjustomatic??

Thanks a lot for the quick info!

I am really open to any option. I was just thinking an adjustomatic because I like the intonation control and it would be easy to just set it in place. The biggest problem is the harmony could go to string spacing of about 1 15/16" at most. The bridge height isn't a huge concern because i could always sand it down. Now I'm leaning torwards the space control. It seems like its the only way I can get that narrow of a spacing.
