Installation notes

TonePros makes two similarly-named locking Tune-o-matic replacements, a Nashville-spec version (this one) and a separate, narrower vintage ABR-1-spec version, worth double-checking you're ordering the Nashville-spec NVR2 specifically. Consistently reported as a straightforward install across Nashville-spec Tune-o-matic guitars in owner forum threads.

Epiphone

ES-335 2021

Likely drop-in

A locking Nashville-spec bridge upgrade. Epiphone bridges commonly share the same stud size across bridge styles, so this is a lower-risk swap than on a USA Gibson, worth confirming your exact bridge style before ordering.

Why we say this

TonePros' Nashville-spec locking bridge. Epiphone bridges of both ABR-1 and Nashville style share the same 6mm metric stud, so a Nashville-spec retrofit carries less risk here than on a vintage-spec USA Gibson, though the exact factory bridge variant on this model has not been independently confirmed.

Jimi Hendrix Flying V Left-Handed

Likely drop-in

A locking version of this guitar's Nashville-spec bridge, no more strings falling out of the saddle slots.

Why we say this

TonePros builds the NVR2 specifically for Nashville-spec spacing, matching this guitar's confirmed bridge. A locking, tool-free-height-adjustment upgrade over the stock non-locking LockTone unit. No handedness concern, Tune-o-matic bridges are symmetric.

Epiphone

Les Paul Custom 2020

Likely drop-in

Purpose-built for this bridge style. Locking studs mean it won't fall out when you change strings.

Why we say this

TonePros markets the NVR2 specifically as their Nashville-spec locking retrofit. Consistently reported as a straightforward install in Epiphone-specific threads, including on current-production Les Paul models across the range.

Drilling

Reports are mixed on whether this matches this guitar's smaller bridge posts. We're checking before confirming.

Why we say this

Conflicting sources: one forum report describes this as a direct replacement on a Casino, but a separate, more detailed measurement thread states the Casino's import-spec bridge uses small 4mm posts at ~74mm spacing, and TonePros doesn't appear to sell a matching small-post "import" version.

E-II Eclipse 2022

Needs verification

Should fit closely based on this guitar's confirmed post spacing, though the exact tolerance hasn't been cross-checked. A locking upgrade over the stock bridge.

Why we say this

TonePros markets the NVR2 as their Nashville-spec locking retrofit. This guitar's confirmed post spacing (73.8mm) sits close to Nashville spec, but has not been specifically cross-checked against this locking bridge's own tolerances.

Needs verification

This guitar's stock bridge is already a locking Tune-O-Matic, but whether it uses ABR-1 or Nashville spacing has not been confirmed. Check post spacing before ordering.

Why we say this

Guitar ships with a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic from the factory, but whether the post spacing follows ABR-1 or Nashville convention has not been confirmed for this model.

Gibson

SG Standard Left-Handed

Needs verification

The bridge spec listed for this guitar and for its right-handed twin don't agree, and the two spacings aren't interchangeable. Worth confirming what's actually on your guitar before ordering.

Why we say this

This left-handed model is listed as Nashville spec, while the right-handed version of the same guitar is listed as ABR-1. Those are genuinely different post spacings, so one of the two listings is wrong and it is not clear which. Until that is settled, a Nashville-spec bridge cannot be treated as a confirmed match here.

Epiphone

Les Paul Standard 60s 2020

This bridge is built for the wider Nashville post spacing. This guitar uses the narrower ABR-1 style spacing, so the posts will not line up. Measure your own stud spacing before buying any replacement bridge for it.

Why we say this

Epiphone brands this guitar's bridge LockTone ABR, not Nashville, so it uses the narrower ABR-1-style post spacing. Nashville-spec bridges are consistently reported as noticeably wider than ABR-1-style ones, so the posts will not line up. Worth being specific about the model here, because the Nashville-spec bridge is the correct choice on several other current Epiphone Les Pauls.
