I got the Faber ABRN yesterday and installed it right away. The fit was perfect. Thanks to your recommendation, I adjusted the posts so that they are just sub-flush to the bridge when the bridge is lowered to my liking. While I was at it, I also replaced the stock pickups with Mojotone 59 clones. I don't know it's because of the Faber bridge or the pickups, probably combination of both, but the note separation and overall sound definition are a lot better now.

Thanks again for looking into this! I don't dislike the shape of Heritage pickguard. But the issue is the pickguard color not matching the pickup ring color... It's not really obvious on the standard models, but on CC models, the pickup ring color is almost like parchment. I guess it's probably more historically correct, but it's just too noticeable on the solid black guitar I have.

Oh this explains why one of the bridge posts looks taller on my guitar. I will definitely tighten them down when I swap the bridge. I like everything tight and solid. Thank you so much for the detailed information! That helps a lot!

First of all, your guitar looks beautiful. I have an ebony CC and every time I see a burst, I’m like I want that one too haha. Actually, I’ve emailed Mike about that bridge and am waiting for an invoice. I also have Faber ABRN on order. I guess when I get both, I will have to decide which one I like more and install it. Since you have both already, have you noticed any difference in quality, dimensions, etc.? BTW, where did you find that G-style pickguard that fits Heritage CC? I’ve been looking everywhere but haven’t found one yet.
