Hello,
I am seriously considering the purchase of a G&L Fallout guitar.
is it possible to get the saddle locking bridge dimensions or spec sheet? I like TOM bridges and the feel of a higher bridge and wondered If I could get the same height with the locking saddle bridge.
I looked over the net but no info is to be found over this
thanks
Max

Re: saddle bridge dimensions
are you just wanting to compare string height ??... I have both but never measured them , my guess is they are fairly close in height short of actually measuring the two

Re: saddle bridge dimensions
thanks for your reply FF
yes I would like to compare string height / guitar body.
I like the feel of a non recessed tune o matic bridge of gibson guitars much more than a tele bridge. my wrist sits higher over the guitar body. I find it much more comfortable.
the G&L saddle bridge looks quite high too. but it doesn't seem that G&L guitars use a neck angle or shims in the neck pocket, which are de facto on a gibson set neck for example. I like that feel.

Re: saddle bridge dimensions
on my Fallout saddle lock the bottom of the string is 18/32
my Broadcaster saddle lock is 18/32
as far as I know both are still factory , I haven't changed the saddle height anyway , measured by the bridge to body
my LP copy TOM is 21/32 from bottom of string to body , so the LP is a little higher
