Height adjustment studs are different, other than that no problem. You'll also need to plug the hole in the back of the guitar. Note: these can be harder to adjusted the intonation if you have your action real low, the adjustment screws sometimes get hidden by the pickguard. |

Location: SoCal | Actually, I don't think it has the studs, but Miles does. My guess is that I'm going to get outbid on this thing. The intonation on the original bridge is fine, but it's a royal royal royal pain in the ass the change strings. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | This bridge would look great on your guitar Paul, gotta get it. How often do you change the intonation anyway? Plugging the hole in the body is easy, just take the screw that is there now and glue it in place, something like rubber cement at the inside end. It will hold it in place but could be knocked out if you ever wanted to in the future. |

The hole from the old bridge is not a problem as it is covered on the rear, by the battery plate. |

Location: Central Florida | On the subject of PD-12 bridges, mine has the old style but the black plastic cover is broken on one side where it secures at the stud, thus sticking up right where I rest my hand. It's playable as is, but looks kinda kunky. Is it possible to replace just the plastic cover or would I need to replace the whole bridge? Or, would it be a viable option to just remove the plastic cover and leave the brass(?) tailpiece exposed. Any thougts?

If I replace the bridge on my guitar, I'll be happy to send you the plastic bridge cover. |
