Gibson three point bridge 1973 onwardsGibson three-point bridge. Introduced in mid 1973, and still in use today. This bridge is a sturdy, heavy-duty bridge which overcomes the tendancy of its predecessor to tip forward, by having an extra post at the front. The bridge pictured has black plastic surrounding each post hole - though this is the exception rather than the rule. As used on the EB-0, EB-3, EB-4L, Thunderbird, SB-350/SB-450, Ripper, RD series basses, Les Paul Signature and Les Paul Triumph from 1973 onwards. |
