good product and work fine
I went full tilt and bought a great roller bridge by ABM for my Peavey Rockingham, that bridge was expensive and a great piece of kit however the low e string kept popping out if I played hard enough, I decided to buy this Gretsch rocking bar to see if it could save my bacon. Well it did cure the problem I described and not only that it even sounds better and Id say a little brighter. I am delighted it cured the problem as I would have sold the guitar if it did not. Regarding intonation OK so you set each e string and that does it but of course some of the string are not correct as its a straight bar but to be honest it is still fine and if it was good enough for Chet its good enough for me. The ABM would work much better with a B5 or B7, this Gretsch Rocking bar is the one for a B6 or B3. Totally happy with it in every way.

Great upgrade!
It is a lot of work to get the saddle to match the body of your guitar, Man ebony is tough...
BUT worth every penny!
The bridge itself is a bit brighter than the original, this is something to be noted and not necessarily a bad thing.
A tip for fitting it properly, put some painters tape on the body and then glue a 60 or 80 grit sandpaper on top of that, higher goes very, very slow....

Easy to install, perfect tone
This is a great upgrade for electromatic series gretsch guitars. Easy to install and to keep in tune, the tone is as good as it gets. Clear improvement in vibrato expression and overall sustain.

Excellent replacement bridge
Having an ABR style bridge on my Gretsch I was plagued with stability issues using the Bigsby (ABR style bridges really weren't designed for tremolo use). This however gently rock on the posts due to its conical post hole design reducing the stress and likelihood of sticking of the strings. Great piece of kit.

Just works
I was a little skeptical about this, but it's just great. Can take a lot of Bigsby abuse, but helps everything stay stable tunng wise.
Highly recommended as an upgrade to many guitars, this one's on my Peerless, I wouldn't use anything else!
