A good replacement for Epiphone guitars.
The Gotoh GE103B G is a very good bridge, very solid and well-built. I bought it to replace the bridge on my Epiphone Flying V Korina as I couldn't get a good intonation out of it.
Much better than the original bridge but is not a perfect fit for my guitar: the original bridge is more narrow and like the ABR-1, the GE103B G is more similar to a Nashville bridge. So the strings are now touching the edge of the bridge (but please note that Flying V guitars most of the times don't have a stop-tail).
Also: the distance between the two posts is not exactly the same as in the Epiphone bridge but slightly wider (at least on my Flying V), so I had to drill two new holes on the body of my guitar to have a good fit.
The guitar sounds now fuller, with some more mids. The intonation is perfect.
Overall a very good product but be 100% sure about the dimensions required on your guitar before purchasing.

Great quality
A high quality bridge used with the 'conversion' posts to upgrade a standard 'metric' bridge on an Epiphone LP. Good quality finish with nice gold plating.

A good upgrade
I bought a cheap Les Paul Copy and as usual, the gold plating was a mess on the bridge. The original bridge wasn't the best quality either if I'm honest. The guitar itself seemed good and solid though so I thought it was worth spending a little cash on it to try to improve not only the look but also the tone of the instrument. Having owned a number of guitars with Gotoh hardware I knew where to look for a suitable replacement. The diagram on the site shows the measurements very clearly so you can check it's going to fit before you order. Once I knew it would fit I ordered it and it arrived very quickly. Great service as usual from Thomann. The bridge itself is the quality you'd expect from a brand like Gotoh. It fit perfectly, the gold plating was of a high standard and everything functioned as it should. After replacing a few other parts I've ended up with a cracking guitar for not a lot of money. It might not be as sexy as a fancy new pedal but sometimes it's better to spend the money replacing the original hardware on a cheap guitar with something better rather than spending it on new toys.
