TonePros T3BT-B Tune-o-matic

Acquistato per rimpiazzare il ponte di fabbrica su una Starsun modello Explorer, ormai vecchio e usurato, vengo attirato dalle recenzioni del TonePros T3BT-B Tune-o-matic su vari siti in rete.
Arrivato e spacchettato, lo faccio immediatamente montare dal mio liutaio di fiducia.
La differenza la noto sin dai primi momenti, il timbro è più ricco e squillante di armoniche, e presenta una stabilità di accordatura più duratura; il sustain è inoltre favorito dall?upgrade che si presenta anche esso migliorato.
Raccomando il prodotto a musicisti con chitarre di fascia medio-bassa in cerca di un upgrade soddisfacente e di ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

I purchased this bridge as a replacement/upgrade for an ESP LTD V-500.
Compared to the bridge that it replaced I immediately noticed that this one was heavier than the original and generally felt better built. Installation was effortless and there was a noticeable improvement in sound (Both unplugged and plugged in).
Pros:
* Sturdy, well made.
* Can be 'locked' in place to avoid accidental adjustments happening when changing strings.
* Direct replacement for metric TOM style bridges.
* Comes with body inserts for new guitar builds (TonePros strongly advise against removing/replacing the stock inserts in any guitar).
* Improved sound. Afterwards the guitar had a noticeably more balanced sound (The stock bridge sounded thin in comparison).
* Louder acoustic sound from the guitar- presumably this should mean an increase in sustain (It definitely sounds like there is).
* Mine arrived with the saddles already roughly adjusted so I didn't have to put much effort into setting the intonation afterwards.
Cons:
* Not overly clear which way you're supposed to install it (The general consensus is that the sloped part of the saddles should be facing away from the pickups, though there's an element of personal preference too). This is literally the only remotely negative thing I can think of.

Overall, if you have an Asian-made guitar then there's a very good chance that this bridge will fit and provide a welcome improvement to your instrument.

I bought this bridge to replace the 7 year old tarnished, dirt and worn down gold plated ToM style on my Dean ML, as there was a buzzing sound coming from the higher strings when unplugged, and a shrill tremolo pedal esque fade in and out when plugged in. None of my other ToM guitars had this, so I figured buying a nice bridge would help. Well, it most certainly helped. The stability of the saddles was very good, and they did not move without use of a screwdriver. The shrillness and buzzing of the high strings was gone with it, and the bass and body of the sound significantly increased. Overall, fantastic fix both for stability and tone.
