Sherman fixed bridge?

heffergm · 06-03-2008, 12:11 PM

Could someone clue me in on what fixed bridge Sherman is using? It's hot Hot HOT!

Specifically this one (although now that I look at it again, that guitar is a carved top isn't it... damn. So much for retrofitting it...).

hipshot me thinks

Hipshot? I could be wrong but thats what it looks like.

EDIT: Looks like I'm a step behind this morning

Seedawakener · 06-03-2008, 12:20 PM

Yup, pretty sure that's a hipshot. Same construction anyway!

heffergm · 06-03-2008, 12:21 PM

Thanks guys. Yeah, looks like it is a hipshot. I'm curious if it's a retrofit for a gotoh fixed bridge. My guess is doubtful... I'm assuming the mounting screws would be in different locations.

EDIT: yeah, scratch that. Not even remotely close.

Yes, it`s a Hipshot with the new stainless steel saddles.
the .125/.175 is the thickness of the bridge plate.

LOL. Thanks Mike, I trolled over to Hipshot and realized that after I'd posted my comment on the .125/.175 difference that that would make for some awfully tight string spacing

My brain doesn't fully turn on until 1pm...

They're really, really nice bridges for such a simple design- much better than the Gotohs IMO.

Yeah, it's really pretty design-wise. None of the mounting screws are exposed, very nice touch. The saddle shape is really appealing too...

What can I say, I like little details...

i also like the fact that it´s matte black, and the screws are chrome :P
