A locking ABR-1-spec bridge upgrade, the option to reach for if your factory bridge turns out to be the narrower vintage style rather than Nashville.
TonePros' ABR-1/vintage-spec locking bridge, the other common retrofit path if this guitar's factory bridge turns out to be ABR-1 style rather than Nashville.
A locking version of this guitar's vintage-spec ABR-1 bridge, no more strings falling out of the saddle slots.
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.
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.
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.

A vintage-spec bridge option, but ESP's exact stud spec on this model has not been confirmed to match. Measure before ordering.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
