I’ve read a bunch of threads here on the subject and I apologize in advance as this has been discussed to death.
I’ve acquired a beautiful g6128t FT Players Edition for a song, and I’m in love with it - my first proper Gretsch and it’s better than I even imagined.
It has a B7 and an anchored Adjusto-matic bridge bolted to the top, i.e. doesn’t move at all with the Bigsby. I’ve read so much about Gretsch bridges here and like everyone, I want to maximize tone and tuning stability. I’ll probably be staying away from roller bridges based on what I’ve read here. My big question is, it worth it to get a Tru-Arc or a Compton? Or even something like Graph Tech saddles for the existing bridge, as a cheaper option… which would ostensibly help with tuning stability and sustain but would probably be about the same as the steel saddles tone-wise?
Any advice helps on this helps. Thanks.
