ESP
The same Gotoh bridge this guitar ships with, so it is a like-for-like swap onto the existing posts.
ESP list a Gotoh Tune-o-matic and tailpiece on the E-II Eclipse, and retailers reproducing ESP's spec sheet name it as the Gotoh GE103B-T with a GE101Z tailpiece. Gotoh's drawing for the GE103B-T gives 74mm post spacing on M8 posts and 52mm string spacing, so a new one goes straight onto the same posts.
ESP
The same Gotoh bridge this guitar ships with, so it is a like-for-like swap onto the existing posts.
ESP list a Gotoh Tune-o-matic and tailpiece on the E-II Eclipse with EMG 57TW and 66TW pickups, and several retailers reproducing ESP's spec sheet for this model name it as the Gotoh GE103B-T with a GE101Z tailpiece. Gotoh's drawing for the GE103B-T gives 74mm post spacing on M8 posts and 52mm string spacing, so a new one goes straight onto the same posts.
ESP
The same Gotoh bridge this guitar ships with, so it is a like-for-like swap onto the existing posts.
ESP and Andertons list a Gotoh Tune-o-matic and tailpiece on the Fluence Modern E-II Eclipse, and a retailer reproducing the spec sheet for the same guitar names it as the Gotoh GE103B-T with a GE101Z tailpiece. Gotoh's drawing for the GE103B-T gives 74mm post spacing on M8 posts and 52mm string spacing, so a new one goes straight onto the same posts.
Epiphone
Should fit, but post spacing on Epiphone Nashville bridges varies slightly by year. Measure your studs before buying if you want a guaranteed fit.
StewMac lists Gotoh's drop-in Nashville replacement at 73.99mm post spacing, but multiple owner caliper measurements on Epiphone LPs range from 73.0mm to 74.4mm depending on model year. Same underlying Nashville-spec bridge family as the rest of the current Epiphone LP range.
Epiphone
Should fit, but post spacing on Epiphone Nashville bridges varies slightly by year. Measure your studs before buying if you want a guaranteed fit.
StewMac lists Gotoh's drop-in Nashville replacement at 73.99mm post spacing, but multiple owner caliper measurements on Epiphone LPs range from 73.0mm to 74.4mm depending on model year.
Epiphone
Should fit, but post spacing on Epiphone Nashville-style bridges varies slightly by year and model. Measure your studs before buying if you want a guaranteed fit.
StewMac lists Gotoh's drop-in Nashville replacement at 73.99mm post spacing, but multiple owner caliper measurements on Epiphone LPs range from 73.0mm to 74.4mm depending on model year. This guitar's own bridge post spacing (74mm) comes from a single detailed measurement source, not yet cross-checked against an official spec sheet.
ESP
ESP only list a "Gotoh TOM" on this model, not which one. Check your bridge's markings or measure the posts first.
ESP list a Gotoh Tune-o-matic and tailpiece on the E-II Eclipse Full Thickness without naming the model. Gotoh make more than one Tune-o-matic with different posts, and the only listing naming the GE103B-T is for a Japanese-market sibling. Look for markings on your bridge or measure between the posts (the GE103B-T is 74mm apart on M8 posts) before ordering.
ESP
Gotoh supply this bridge to ESP, but ESP don't say which bridge this exact model ships with. Check your bridge's markings or measure the post spacing first.
Gotoh's listing names the GE103B-T as an OEM bridge for ESP, and some other E-II Eclipse models are listed with it. ESP don't publish the exact bridge on the E-II Eclipse Full Thickness Fluence, and a sibling model's bridge isn't proof of this one's, so the match isn't confirmed. Look for Gotoh markings on your bridge or measure the distance between the two posts before ordering.
ESP
This guitar ships with a TonePros locking bridge, not a Gotoh, and its post spacing isn't published. Measure before buying.
ESP list a TonePros locking Tune-o-matic and tailpiece on the LTD EC-1000, not a Gotoh, and don't give the TonePros model, post spacing or thread. The GE103B-T has 74mm post spacing on M8 posts. Measure between your posts and check the thread before ordering.
ESP
ESP don't publish this guitar's bridge model or post spacing. Measure before buying.
Retail spec sheets for the LTD Viper-400 list only a Tune-o-matic and tailpiece, without a maker, model, post spacing or thread. The GE103B-T has 74mm post spacing on M8 posts. Measure between your posts and check the thread before ordering.
Gretsch
Reports on whether this fits are mixed. Measure your existing bridge post diameter before ordering, some owners get a clean fit and others do not.
Owner reports are mixed. Some Gretsch owners confirm the GE103B-T as a drop-in on guitars with genuine Adjusto-Matic bridges, while at least one owner reports it did not fit their guitar. Stud diameter, 4mm ABR-1 style versus 6mm Nashville style, needs confirming before buying.

Hagstrom
Hagstrom's bridge is its own design, not a standard Gibson-style Tune-o-matic, so a generic metric replacement like this one is a plausible fit based on measurements from a closely related Hagstrom model, but it has not been confirmed on the Super Swede specifically. Measure your studs before buying if you want a guaranteed fit.
The Super Swede uses the same proprietary Hagstrom Long Travel Tune-O-Matic bridge family as the Viking, Swede, and Ultra Swede. A parts listing for the same bridge style pulled from a Hagstrom Swedie measured 52mm string spacing and 73mm center to center post spacing, close to Gotoh's metric GE103B-T spec, but that figure comes from a related model's take-off part rather than a confirmed factory spec for this guitar, and no aftermarket manufacturer publishes Hagstrom-specific fitment data.

Hagstrom
Hagstrom's bridge is its own design rather than a standard Gibson-style Tune-o-matic. The string spacing matches this replacement, but the stud spacing on the Viking measures around 1mm narrower than this bridge's published spec. That often still seats, but measure your own studs first if you want a guaranteed fit.
Stud spacing on the Viking is 73mm centre to centre and string spacing is 52mm E to E, each corroborated by two independent sources: a Hagstrom Swedie take-off part listing and a caliper measurement from an owner's 2014 production unit. Gotoh's own published spec for the GE103B-T is 74mm post spacing, verified directly via a retailer listing of that spec sheet. A 1mm difference on a Nashville-style post pattern will often still seat, but it is not a match on the exact figure, so this needs measuring rather than treating as a guaranteed fit. No evidence was found of a bridge spec change across the reissue Viking's continuous production since Hagstrom resumed manufacturing in the early 2000s, so the 73mm figure is treated as representative of current production without being a guarantee against minor drift over a decade. The separate Viking 100th Anniversary Edition uses different Gotoh-branded hardware and is not covered by this figure.
If you have fitted any of these to this Gotoh GE103B-T Tune-o-matic Bridge (Metric), tell us what you found and we'll update the data.
