BGF Tune-o-matic Conversion PostBGF Tune-o-matic Conversion Post

Among the greatest guitar tones ever recorded, all had one thing in common: the ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge. The BGF Tune-o-matic Conversion Post allows you to use an ABR or AVR2 TonePros bridge on a guitar that has the spacing and bushings previously installed for a Nashville bridge. There is no need to extract the bushings, avoiding the risk of damaging the top and having a cosmetic visual plug showings.
