    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.

    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.
