As the title says im looking at the g5420tg 59. I plqn on swapping the bridge on it and am looking at tje compton bridge in stainless steel. I was wondering if these are a direct replacement as I would like to keep the base of the bridge itself.
Welcome! I just bought that very same guitar last week. It’s awesome. I’m also ordering a stainless steel compton later this week (when i get paid). I emailed Wayne and told him the model of my guitar and he knows what will fit. Goes right on the existing posts.
I just ordered my compton! I went with aluminum instead of SS. I love the sound my aluminum tru-arc. It’s been hell trying to decide!
Okay, I've got to ask... What does that Compton bring to the table that the stock bridge on the 5420 doesn't? I've never had issues with stock bridges on any instruments I've owned (aside from Rics which I no longer own) but since I intend to get back into music, at least recording, positive tweaks are a good thing.
Helps with tone(solid bar bridge is better than pot metal rattle-matic), and often tuning stability. Now if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it......but........
Yeah, if the stock bridge pleases you, keep it! I like the way notes and chords ring out and keep ringing with a solid chunk of metal. Also, there’s no moving parts that can rattle.
