Solid, well-made bridge
This bridge fits perfectly on my Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro. (Although after seeing it I realize that the Trad Pro does in fact have nickel hardware, which doesn't exactly match this chrome bridge. If I get too annoyed I'll just replace the tailpiece with a chrome version.) The bridge has BM003 on it, even though the product description shows it as BM005. No idea what the significance of that is. Who knows what brand this is, you can find both the "BM005" and "BM003" roller bridge listed on ebay and some other places (they look identical to me), I guess it's some sort of korean-made part?Originally I had planned to buy the "Allparts GB-0596-010 Chrome Roller Tunematic", since it had more reviews, and I'm not interested in going through the hassle of returning something (I'm ordering from Amazon for the convenience after all). But after seeing the exact dimensions listed here, I decided it was more important to me to be 100% confident that it would fit my guitar. It seems like the main difference between this and the Allparts version is the flathead screws on this bridge. Maybe phillips head would be easier to adjust, but it doesn't bother me much.The included posts match my existing posts/bushings, and the listed 14" radius/string spacing/etc. in the description matches my guitar specs. I'm not qualified to comment on the tuning stability or anything like that, I'll just say that this feels like a solid piece of metal. The individual saddles (rollers) move smoothly, and everything looks like it was machined pretty well. There were a couple of tight turns on some screws when adjusting intonation, but it's nothing that a drop of WD-40 won't fix. The screwdriver did leave slightly noticeable little chips? scratches? I'm not sure what to call them, maybe you can see in the pictures. But the same thing happened to me with the stock epiphone bridge, so I don't know. It's only an aesthetic thing, and really hard to see. Otherwise, I have zero complaints.If you're looking in this price range for bridges, I can't imagine you'd find much better than this. Quality-wise, I got exactly what I expected for $20 - a solid chunk of metal. I would buy it again.

perfect fit on epi standard pro
This bridge fit my Epiphone standard plus top pro perfectly. All of the rollers worked properly as well as the intonation screws. Very solid bridge for use with a bigsby vibrato or just for more tuning stability. I highly recommend this product, it has also added sustain, which is a big plus.

adaptive
I bought this roller saddle and adapted it to be part of the floating bridge on my Godin 5th Avenue Arch Top guitar. The saddle is well made even though it has slotted intonation screws not Phillips. No springs to reset the position of the individual rollers. They use a small metal clip to hold the screws in place so you get full travel of the screw length. Just the right radius, 14 inches. Matches my neck radius and body arch perfectly. Threw away the mounting studs and mounted it on an ebony lower bridge. Stiff screws but a little, very little mineral oil free them right up. Fairly priced and works well with a variety of string gauges. Sounds great. Excellent tone transfer from the strings to the guitar. Very cool. Clean, smooth edges. Good weight. Just balances my whole guitar. Tone, weight, looks like it was made for it.

Great value.
I have read some negative reviews about how the saddles are hard to adjust, not the case with this one they move easily. Also I do not have any issues with the rollers they move freely. The bridge itself is smooth no sharp edges and the finish is good (no pitting).

This Is What YOU Need...
It's a decent bridge for the money. A definite improvement over any factory installed imported bridge.There were a few rough burs on the rollers. I fixed that with a metal file.Yes...as mentioned in other reviews, the adjustment screws are a little tight. That is a simple fix. Simple loosen all the screws. Spray the screws and rollers with a good quality penetrating oil. You can use WD-40 if that's all you have.Put it on your guitar. String it up. Set the intonation. Once you've done that, you'll feel like you're playing a different guitar.*** NOTE - Tip - Advise *** When you change the bridge, MAKE SURE you change the nut. I prefer to use Graph Tech Tusq. I install them on ALL of my guitars. If you don't want to pay $13 for a Superior nut, then search Amazon for others. Stay away from plastic nuts.The nut is one of the MOST important parts of any guitar. It improves intonation and play ability.OVERALL: I am satisfied with this roller bridge and yes, I would recommend it to anyone.
