Matt Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 OK well everyone is familiar with the FR copies against the real deal quality issue. Im looking for some TOM style bridges, how do I know if what Im getting is good quality and if it matters? Thanks alot Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 With T-O-M bridges, the big thing is getting one that won't collapse after a few years. If it's a cheapo then chances are the sides are going to be thin, the posts won't be strong, and the plating won't be shiny for very long. Look for one with thick sides, little side-to-side movement on the saddles, and a good plating/polishing job. Gotoh makes a pretty good cheap T-O-M that won't collapse on you and has a decent plating job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Seconded on the Gotoh bridge. I bought this one from Stew Mac when I was ordering a bunch of stuff one time, and it's treated me very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
