How do you adjust a Gibson bridge?
Adjust Action on a Gibson Bridge

- Adjust the bridge height by turning the slot-head screw on the bridge post, or by whichever method would be applicable to your bridge style.
How does a compensated bridge work?
A compensated saddle includes ‘grooves’ or ‘notches’ where the high E, B and G strings rest. This adjusts the length of the string ‘compensating’ for accurate ‘intonation’ so the guitar sounds in tune with notes played higher up the fretboard. A non-compensated excludes any grooves and is flat across the surface.
What is top wrapping Les Paul?

How do you Intonate a floating bridge on a guitar?
To adjust floating bridge intonation on a guitar, first check the 12th-fret harmonic and the fretted 12th-fret tuning of both E strings (high and low). If properly intonated, the fretted and harmonic 12-fret pitches of both E strings will agree, with none of them being sharp or flat.

Which is the best bridge for a guitar?
The Schaller 455 series is one of the best bridges ever. Someone told me it’s made from zinc. I wonder what a steel or brass version would sound like? Anyway I have two guitars with these bridges and they sustain very well. I am resurrecting this thread for more input and opinions.
