The bridge is good, but pay attention to compatibility issues
Here is my experience:
I was changing the bridge for a Japanese copy of Gibson Les Paul of 1978.
Though I measured the existing bridge, I didn't disassemble the guitar to measure if holes for existing bushings match the diameter of bushings for this bridge and of course it didn't.
The original holes were much bigger. Anyway, to extract existing bushings I had to drill out the bolts and once that was done, the only solution was to make the new threading in the existing bushings. Fortunately I had the tools and the problem was solved.
In summary: I used old bushing making new threading in them, then i screwed in the bridge support and put the new bridge on top.
The rest (tuning the distance between strings, bridge height etc) was easy.
Good product, but check compatibility

Excellent w/ Dusenberg Les Trem II
Put one of these on my LP Studio with a Dusenberg Les Trem II, perfect! (Also installed some locking tuners.) Transformed the guitar in such a beautiful way!
Such a smooth action to the tremolo arm, feels perfect tbh, I think the roller saddles help hugely (bought them together as loads of people recommend)
I feel like the guitar resonates differently with this whole upgrade and security of the string travel etc loool, also how the les trem is flat on the body... The LP is chambered too, w/ the trem it really has a slight hollow body/ jazz guitar feel, especially with the baseball bat neck ha ha ha

What can you say hmm.
I used this on my HB 35 plus and the sustain and tone is mad so nice so good stays in tune looks sexy. I did have to put some wood dowels to make them fit but it was worth it.

Good Quality Bridge with Clever Design.
I have not yet had a chance to fit this. I bought this for a Yamaha RS320 to which I have already fitted a Duesenberg Les Trem II Nickel TM85N. I want the benefits of a roller bridge for this whilst attaining correct string camber and spacing, and I believe the clever design and adjustments of this bridge should enable this.

Excellent bridge!
This is a top quality roller bridge. I have it on a Les Paul Custom and the resonance and tuning stability improved way better. However, I purchased this one for a flat Les Paul Special and it didn’t fit.

Schaller Roller Bridge
This is a fantastic quality upgrade to your guitar. I fitted a Bigsby B3 to my Fender Coronado and was looking for a roller bridge to replace the stock Adjust'o'matic. Machining and nickel finish really fantastic, and it fitted perfectly - didn't need to remove existing studs, height adjustors simply screwed in. looks beautiful too!
