I bought the wrong bridge

Dave_Vader

Damn it, I was already to spend a happy evening rebuilding my Epi SG, I've got my Oil City Mighty 90s, I've got a duesenberg Les Trem, and I carefully bought a roller bridge so I could have happy tuning. 

The bridge even came with the inserts in case the studs didn't fit my existing ones, so I expected no problems.

However, the inserts are the teeny-tiny ones, and I cannot be arsed to go and cut wooden plugs, fill the holes and redrill, so I'm hunting for bushing adapters that will screw into the Epi inserts, and let me put the tiny holed bridge on top of it.

Although so far I'm thinking I might just buy an entire roller bridge instead, with the right size holes to start with.

Any tried and tested cheap as chips fixes will be gratefully received.

Clear as mud.

Thomann stock them, though unless you have other things to order postage will be an issue

Thanks all, looks like a new bridge is slightly cheaper than that, so anybody wanting a roller bridge + stop tail and all inserts, I will have one for sale by the end of the week.

Maybe maybe, I've a harley benton gold top coming in this week and I expect to have to replace the bridge, though I'll need to measure it etc first.
