Our “PLUS” USA/ABR-1 conversion posts replace the original “sloppy” bridge bushings and integrated posts. The Faber® GERMAN BELL BRASS one piece bushing/post, with separate thumb wheels like the original ABR-1 system, will enhance the tone, sustain and resonance of your guitar! These superior posts are threaded, unlike the unthreaded upper portion of the original posts. The threading allows the installation of the Faber® Tone-Lock™ bridge. These posts also allow the installation of the advanced “no wire” Faber® ABRH bridge, or you can use your original Gibson ABR-1 bridge.

I used the conversion posts and other parts to bring a Gibson 60s Standard Closer to Original 50s Gibson specs. Fantastic improvement of tone and sustain. Tried the Faber Les Paul Junior light Aluminum Bridge tailpiece on a jr and had the same success.
