Upgrading the hardware of the Harley Benton

You will recall that one of the first remarks upon opening the box was that the bridge looked cheap and inaccurate. I therefore removed it immediately, to replace it with a spare Gotoh Tune-o-matic bridge I had never used in the SG project it was initially meant for.

The stock bridge was not a fine piece of hardware, and all of its saddles were slotted to the same gauge.

This bridge from my spare box would do a perfect replacement.

The other thing I had noticed was that the bridge and tailpiece posts weren't flush with the surface of the carved top.
