H-147 CM new bridge and stoptail

Hi everybody,

I've been planning for a long time to change the Schaller roller bridge of my loved h-147 CM but i never did... I was scared from the compatibility of the studs and, in some way, i didn't want ti change the original look.

But every time I used to change the strings the rolling bridge mooved and I have to work a lot to find again my setting... so I finally decided to put a classic Gold Nashville bridge with its stoptail.

The fitting is really easy, 5 minutes, you just have to chande the studs...

The improvement in the look of the guitar but also in playbility is really interesting, the sound seems to be more open and bright (with the Schaller roller bridge is a bit too dark) and even the sustain gained.

I know it's an old mood for these guitars but I wanted to show you my experience.

That H-147 has a great look.  I've got a 140 that I dig, but the ebony board and blocks give yours a slightly different vibe.   I'm glad to hear the change was just what you wanted.

Very cool. Two friends both play H140's and they are both great sounding guitars.

The black with the blocks and binding looks great.
