90’s Bluesbird and a Gotoh 510 bridge?

[drc]

Any chance it’s stock? I bought a stinky (Smokey) ‘97 Bluesbird and I didn’t notice the bridge until I had the guitar in my hand.

Definitely not the same as my former ‘97 BB.

 

[drc]

Yeah, I highly doubt it is original. I do like it, what a nice bridge! The adjustment options are fantastic.

I've not seen that bridge on any of the (too many) Bluesbirds I've owned. Looks cool, though.

I remember those. Someone drilled the stud holes in the wrong place and a stock bridge wouldn't intonate so that was the solution. Ah, the old factory memories!

 

[Knash]

Speak of the devil. I just got this '90's one in my shop and saw this. Not sure if this repair was done in factory or not but intonation point is still too far forward.

I found some of those bridges in the last batch of parts I got.

I really like them. Easy to adjust.

I installed the 510 on the SF4 and it finally intonated well.
