I have a Schaller roller bridge on my Starfire VI. It has a lot more travel than a regular tuna-matic.
Thanks John

Schaller's "harmonica" bridge, used on some '70s Gibsons, has a ton of adjustment latitude. I like it, but fitting it to a Starfire would involve drilling new post holes.

I've played a number of '50s Les Paul Specials and Juniors with the bridge/tailpiece posts drilled too close to the neck or off-center or both. Gives me the impression some folks just eyeballed it if they were in a hurry… :culpability:
