Ideal replacement
I had troubles with my Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus 2014 tuning stability and scale length adjustment. The guitar equipped with locking tuners, but even then I was forced to fine tune the guitar every 2 songs, that is quite annoying. First step I did - I replaced the nut to Graph Tech GT PT 6010 00 Black Tusq XL. It was helpful, but not enough. So I decided to try ABM Rollerbridge.
Pros:
- almost zero friction,
- much wider scale tuning space (about +30%). I finally managed to perfectly tune the scale length on every string
- extremely precise and well built construction, it looks more like an aircraft part,
- easy to install.
Cons:
- too pricy, but in view of the quality, it worth it. I didn't regret the purchase at all.
I would highly recommend the item to everyone who has the same problems.

Extremely well built, easy to install, great sound & functionality
This bridge replaced the stock Graphtech on my Godin Montreal Supreme guitar. A saddle had begun to buzz and rather than buy a set of replacement saddles (PS-8501-00), I decided, after a lot of research, to get this ABM Rollerbridge instead.
It was a drop-in replacement without changing the inserts. The ABM bridge has screws on the sides to securely lock the saddle in place on to the posts.
Among reasons I chose this bridge are the reputation of ABM for extremely well engineered German made hardware; the roller saddles (even though I the guitar does not have a tremolo of any sort) that eliminate the need to "notch" most other tune-o-matic saddles; and the solid bell brass construction. Incidentally this is the upgraded second version of a tune-o-matic roller bridge that ABM have made, which shows serious commitment.
The bridge is beautiful, has lived up to all expectations, and given me added confidence in my instrument. Very highly recommended!

Well made upgrade
This is a great well-built roller bridge that is perfect for any instrument you’d like to put it on. Although it WILL NOT fit directly onto Chinese (far eastern) built pole pieces, you will either have to get the pole adapters (sold separately) or re-drill the holes to fit the larger import poles. Indecently I re-drilled mine, it was a 10 second job with a sharp drill bit on the pillar drill with a smidge of oil and hot cup of tea, the holes are already perfectly centred so it was only a case of enlarging, turned out textbook and fits spot on.

Good but ....
Pros - solid build , actually has a nice mellow tone with good attack
Cons - the bridge actually wobbles when used with a Bigsby as there is play in the threads . I am looking at packing the threads. I ended up with the schaller .... better stabilty

The build quality is insane
This thing is like a tank. You feel you're holding something substantial when you get it into your hands. It's solid metal, and ABM really knows how to process these things. It's much pricier than some of the alternatives, even official Gibson ones, but well worth the premium.
it also has adjustable pin spacing, so even non-standard guitars can be retrofitted without re-drilling.

Brilliant, perfect
More expensive than other rollers but I bought this for my Gretsch streamliner G2420. Big difference in tone (better). I reckon this is the best roller option (I have used others) and it dropped right onto the guitar, a one minute job to replace the old original rattly and buzzy bridge. Sounds slick now.

Great fit for 12inch radius
Direct fit for my Gretsch Electromatic Hollowbody. No need to replace studs.
Got another one for my Gretsch Center Block model.
Only downside is the hefty price, but the unit is A1 in terms of build quality.

This is IT! For any guitar with a (Bigsby) tremolo, this the the solution!

Two months in - rusted and not rolling
Title says it all. The saddles will not budge. For the money i have to admit i expected more.

Great!
Used it for a Gretsch with a Bigsby, along with locking tuners. The improvement is clear, really worth the upgrade!
