Can I use a TonePros LPM02 bridge on the single-cutaway kit?
Yes. Our LP Style with a Tune-o-matic (TOM) bridge kits use the same bridge and tailpiece post spacing as the TonePros LPM02. They're built to the same model spec, so a TonePros LPM02 will drop straight onto the kit without any modification.
Bridge (Tune-o-matic) — top view
- Post spacing (outer): 51.9 mm (2.043")
- Overall width / mounting span: 73.8 mm (2.905")
- Post/foot offset: 6.35 mm (0.25")
Bridge — side/front view
- Height: 13.8 mm (0.543")
- Saddle detail: 8.9 mm (0.35")
- 10.5 mm (0.413")
Bridge post/stud (M8)
- Head diameter: 6 mm (0.236")
- Head/screw section: 9 mm (0.354")
- Threaded length: 22 mm (0.866")
- Overall length: 33.5 mm (1.318")
- Thread size: M8
Tailpiece bushing/insert
- Diameter: 14 mm (0.551")
- Length: 22.5 mm (0.886")
- Base/flange: 11.1 mm (0.437")
Which kits does this apply to?
All LP Style kits built with a TOM-style bridge use this same post spacing. If your kit has a Tune-o-matic bridge, the spacing matches. (Except for, Standard LP, LPJ/Junior, L1 or L2)
Do you offer other bridge sizes?
Not at the moment. We currently build these kits to the one TOM spacing described above, so we don't stock kits in alternate bridge dimensions.
What does this mean if I want to swap the bridge?
You can fit a TonePros LPM02 (or any TOM bridge built to that same standard spacing) as a direct replacement. No re-drilling, no re-spacing of the posts. Measure twice before ordering any third-party hardware, but if the part lists the same post spacing, it will fit.
