Installing a GraphTech ResoMax Adjustable Wraparound Bridge on a Gibson Les Paul Special

ResoMax NW2 Adjustable Wraparound Bridge w/ String Saver Saddles (PS-8593, Select Finish) Chrome / Imperial
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
I show you how to install a GraphTech ResoMax NWD Adjustable Wraparound Bridge on a Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute.
• AutoLock feature magnetically always secures your bridge with no tools to use or lose, making re-stringing simple and quick.
• The NW2 bridge comes loaded with String Saver saddles. These saddles are impregnated with PTFE and will dramatically reduce string breakage, improve tuning performance, and boost the midrange of your guitar.
• String grooves for easy string installation
• Gibson and USA PRS guitars use Imperial threads. Epiphone and PRS-SE use Metric threads.

I put a Music City “ Savvy” on my Junior.
Fantastic piece of technology

I was just going to suggest that bridge too. I just bought one and I’m going to install it soon.

I just got a PRS SE Paul's Guitar and had it plek'd, the neck made satin and GraphTech tuners at Sweetwater. I regret not having them install the nut and bridge. This video helped a bit. Great work 💯 Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@guitarcollectorguy]

You are welcome and thank you

I have one of those compensated bridges on my guitar, it works great, no issues at all.

[@TheFran457]

Great review!

[@guitarcollectorguy]

Thanks!

[@guitarcollectorguy]

When I comment about there being two types of wraparound bridges, I am referring to the original from the factory bridges from Gibson and am not including any of the after-market models like what I am installing in this video.

[@markpell8979]

Nice bridge. Just hopped over to Amazon on the link and now I see why you didn't mention the price in the video. Ouch!

[@guitarcollectorguy]

Yeah, pricey.

[@jeremywills9303]

Trying to decide if this bridge is worth the coin. Not so much for intonation issues but more of if it's more comfortable for plam muting. I don't like the way the lightning bars feel. Thx for your video.

[@guitarcollectorguy]

There are no sharp edges and no adjustment screws exposed.

[@GazHogan]

WOW !!!!!! the way the bridge slid down the body once the strings were removed gave me a panic attack

[@guitarcollectorguy]

LOL!!!!!! I hope you are okay.

[@GazHogan]

@@guitarcollectorguy I'm good thanks bro, it came as a shock though as I wasn't expecting it LOL

[@tuna22lm]

Oh I see how.

[@tuna22lm]

My question is after you have installed one of these types of bridges how do you adjust the individual saddles as they are in front right behind the pickup? How do you even get a screw driver in there to make the adjustment?

[@dieterroller5993]

Yes, had the same problem, but just bring the bridge PU down turning the little screws on it . Then you have access to the screws on the bridge. After finishing the fine intonation, bring the PU back in its position. You can measure its height before turning it down.

Could you tell me the brand of tuner you use ?... Better than a pedal tuner ? I currently have an Ibanez, Big mini, chromatic tuner.

Can I put it on a Harley Benton DC Junior?

[@guitarcollectorguy]

From the looks of the bridge on your guitar I am sure it would work. The only thing I am not sure of is whether the Harley Benton comes with Metric or Imperial threads. I would send an email to the bridge manufacture and ask. I am sure they would know. [e-mail]

[@guitarcollectorguy]

I did some research. It looks like if it fits an Epiphone it would fit your guitar and Harley Benton uses Metric Threads.

[@rockerboiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

helped a lot sir🫡

[@guitarcollectorguy]

Thank you and I am glad.
