Larch Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Hi folks, Love my H-137, but I think it needs a bridge upgrade. I dislike the offset nature of the stock compensated wraparound bridge, and it feels to me that the radius of it does not match the fretboard (action is not the same across all strings). Has anyone swapped in an intonatable wraparound bridge on their H-137? If so, which model? How easy was the swap / any work required, etc.? Thanks!

Larch Posted August 25, 2021 Author Posted August 25, 2021 Say, thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'm going to give a try at notching the lightning bar saddles and see how that feels -- I'll get back to everyone with the results, whenever it happens!

Not sure if that will work. But, if it does, awesome. I’ll learn something new!

RJLII Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 MY H-137 had a pigtail compensated bridge. It worked great.
