"PLUS" USA/ABR-1 Conversion Posts
Faber® "PLUS" USA/ABR-1 German Bell Brass Conversion Posts for Gibson® USA Guitars with ABR-1 Bridges
The "PLUS" USA/ABR-1 conversion posts (#3117) replace the original bridge bushings and integrated posts on Gibson® USA model guitars with an ABR-1 bridge on bushing mounted bridge posts. Each one-piece German bell brass bushing/post has separate thumbwheels like the original ABR-1 system, to enhance the tone, sustain and resonance of your guitar.
They fit the Les Paul Traditional from 2017, plus some, but not all, LP Standards and Classics from 2017-2019. For the 2020 model year (began in late 2019), several models from "The Original Collection" use this system: all LP Standards, the SG and ES models. Simply put, if you have a non Custom Shop guitar with an ABR-1 bridge, these USA/ABR-1 conversion posts are correct for your guitar.
The threaded 6-32 upper posts let you fit a Faber® Tone-Lock™ bridge or the advanced "no wire" Faber® ABRH bridge, or keep your original Gibson ABR-1. See the installation video.
Prefer the quickest install? Choose the "EZ" USA/ABR-1 conversion posts, which simply replace the existing posts with no modification.
