A new bridge for my new RGA7?

[migreeni]

Howdy! Just got myself an RGA7 w/Lundgren M7's. Sweeeeet. I think the bridge is a bit bulky, so has anyone got any suggestions on what to replace it with? I like the floyd rose feel, but dislike the actual floyd rose. I heard Kahler makes pretty good bridges also. Your thoughts?

You're probably going to have to do a fair bit of work to get any other trems in there.

Honestly I prefer original and lo pro edge trems (Ibanez) to any other trem, but the trem on yours would be among my least favorites. Have you tried taking out the extra springs?

 

[migreeni]

There's no trem. It's fixed.

I can' really help you here. I fucking love the Gibraltar bridges!

 

[Prydogga]

Oh you meant you hate "THE" floyd rose, I thought you meant the floyd rose style bridge that was on it. Sorry, you originally had RGD7 in your OP so I thought it had an Edge Zero.

Yeah, if you want a Kahler, I'd probably go with one, I believe they require the least amount of routing, and are probably the smoothest trem system you can find.

As long as there isn't going to be a problem with the carved top, then go for it!

Yeah, epic typo, sry.

I used to play the ESP SC608B and still loooove the bridge on that one. I think it was a Hipshot. Kinda like this one: 7 String Fixed .125 Guitar Bridge Black > Store > Hipshot Products

Anyone ever compared Hipshots vs. Kahlers? The Gibraltar that's on the guitar now is kinda on the way when chugging those low tunes...

I think Kahler makes a bridge specifically for arch tops.

Ok I think I'm gonna go with the hipshot fixed 7. I'm kinda worried if it's gonna fit or not. And what's the difference between these two bridges:

7 String Fixed .125 Guitar Bridge Black > Store > Hipshot Products
7 String Fixed .175 Guitar Bridge Black > Store > Hipshot Products
