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!

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.

ABM Rollerbridge 2400c-RO Chrom
This is IT! For any guitar with a (Bigsby) tremolo, this the the solution!

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

Perfect replacement for Gretsch Electromatic with Bigsby
First of all, I'm very happy with my first shopping experience with Thomann. Very professional process and the Website / personal account is very useful. By far the best Music Store Website I used for ordering gear.
For the ABM Roller Bridge, It's a high quality bridge (German made !) that fits very well my G5422T Electromatic Grestch. A big improvement in sound (no more rattle) and tuning stability. The ABM box included also posts and hardware for Nashville Style bridge in case you need it. The only thing I missed is an instruction sheet. By chance, I easily found instructions on the Internet and install it in like
10 minutes. :-)
