Matches this guitar's genuine ABR-1 bridge spec directly.
Why we say this
This bridge's own spec sheet confirms ABR-1 vintage mounting at 74.0mm post spacing, matching this guitar's genuine ABR-1 bridge, shared with the ES-335 hardware family.
A locking version of this guitar's vintage-spec ABR-1 bridge, no more strings falling out of the saddle slots.
Why we say this
TonePros builds the AVR2 specifically for ABR-1 vintage-spec spacing, matching this guitar's bridge exactly. A locking, tool-free-height-adjustment upgrade over the stock non-locking ABR-1.
Purpose-built as a locking version of this guitar's factory ABR-1 bridge. Locking studs mean it will not fall out when you change strings.
Why we say this
TonePros markets the AVR2 specifically as their ABR-1/vintage-spec locking retrofit, matching this guitar's factory ABR-1 bridge, as opposed to their separate NVR2 model built for Nashville-spec bridges.
Matches this guitar's genuine ABR-1 bridge spec directly. This part has no left or right-handed version because the bridge itself isn't handed, it fits the same either way.
Why we say this
This bridge's own spec sheet confirms ABR-1 vintage mounting at 74.0mm post spacing, matching this guitar's genuine ABR-1 bridge. A Tune-O-Matic bridge has no handedness of its own, so this fits identically regardless of the guitar being left-handed.

TonePros markets the AVR2 specifically as their ABR-1/vintage-spec locking retrofit, matching this guitar's factory ABR-1 bridge.
A locking ABR-1-spec bridge upgrade, the option to reach for only if you confirm your factory bridge is the narrower vintage style rather than Nashville. Most modern Epiphones use Nashville spec, so check before buying.
Why we say this
TonePros' ABR-1/vintage-spec locking bridge. Guitar's actual factory bridge variant (ABR-1 vs Nashville) is unconfirmed and most modern Epiphones use Nashville spec, so this ABR-1-spec product should not carry the same confidence as the Nashville-spec option below unless your specific bridge is confirmed as ABR-1 style.
Help confirm this fit
A vintage-spec bridge option, but ESP's exact stud spec on this model has not been confirmed to match. Measure before ordering.
Why we say this
This guitar ships with a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic. ESP typically uses its own metric stud spec, which has not been independently confirmed to match this Gibson-spec vintage retrofit part.
Help confirm this fit
Likely matches this guitar's bridge based on the broader pattern across current Gibson USA models, though not specifically confirmed for this exact model. Worth measuring before buying.
Why we say this
This bridge's own spec sheet confirms ABR-1 vintage mounting. This guitar likely uses the same ABR-1 bushing-mount system Gibson rolled out across most USA models from 2017 onward, per Faber's guide, but that has not been specifically confirmed for the Tribute sub-model.
Help confirm this fit
We haven't nailed down this guitar's exact bridge spacing yet, so this ABR-1-spec bridge isn't a sure thing. Measure your posts before buying.
Why we say this
Same unresolved bridge spec conflict applies here. TonePros builds the AVR2 to ABR-1 spacing, which only matches if this guitar is genuinely ABR-1 rather than the Nashville spec listed for the left-handed version.

Why we say this
Same unresolved bridge spec conflict applies here. TonePros builds the AVR2 to ABR-1 spacing, which only matches if this guitar is genuinely ABR-1 rather than the Nashville spec shown in this listing. No handedness concern for this part, Tune-o-matic bridges are symmetric.

Drilling
This swaps just the bridge for a fixed Tune-o-matic, the same setup the factory J Mascis Jazzmaster uses. Your existing floating tailpiece stays, only new bridge post holes are needed.
Why we say this
This is the same style of conversion the factory J Mascis Jazzmaster ships with, a fixed Tune-o-matic bridge in place of the stock floating bridge, with the guitar's own floating tailpiece kept in place rather than replaced. Doing this on a standard Jazzmaster means drilling new bridge post holes, since a TOM bridge has an entirely different post pattern.
