AlBridge’s weight starts around 4 oz, thanks to its Duralumin construction.Primarily for Fender-style guitars, but can be used in place of most other string trees. No more tuning slippage! Just like the Bell Bronze saddles on the AlBridge bridge replacements, these string trees will increase your natural sustain, provide perfectly chimney tones, and prevent note slippage from bends or tremolo use. For example, see below for a friction coefficient comparison:īell Bronze has such a low friction coefficient when paired with Steel that your strings will glide effortlessly, like they are coated in natural lubricant. PURE Bell Bronze has perfect tension on strings and a nearly flawless friction coefficient (Steel and Bronze which only lists a lubricated value of 0.16). More often than not, the standard string trees will force your guitar out of tune when bending or using a tremolo arm, but the AlBridge string trees will prevent that while also enhancing the natural tone of your playing. These string trees are the perfect replacement for the generic metal string trees on your your Fender style guitar, or any guitar with string trees. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required.Introducing the latest development from AlBridge Parts, a 100% PURE Bell Bronze string trees. Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration. The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. Other electric models include: HOFNER ELECTRICS: Committee, Verithin 66, Ambassador, President, Senator, Galaxie, HOFNER BASSES: Violin bass, Verithin bass, Senator bass, Professional bass GIBSON ELECTRICS: Barney Kessel, ES-330TD, ES-335TD, ES-345TD, ES-175D, ES-125CD, SG Standard, SG Junior, SG Special GIBSON BASSES: EB-0, EB-2, EB-3 - plus a LOT of acoustics branded Gibson, Hofner, Selmer and Gianniniīy the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price). This catalogue saw the (re-)introduction of the late sixties Gibson Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Standard (see page 69) and the short-lived Hofner Club 70. Selmer were the exclusive United Kingdom distributors of Hofner and Gibson at the time, and this catalogue contains a total of 18 electric guitars, 7 bass guitars, 37 acoustics, and 2 Hawaiian guitars - all produced outside the UK and imported by Selmer, with UK prices included in guineas. Scan of 1968/1969 Selmer guitar catalogue (printed July 1968), showing the entire range of electric and acoustic guitars distributed by the company: guitars by Hofner, Gibson, Selmer and Giannini.
