Bridge Collapse, Yep, It's Real.......

I've personally never had a Nashville do it but every stupid ABR does it eventually. Surprised he has a collapsing Nashville. I keep saying it, but there is a reason (actually several) they redesigned those bridges and I cannot understand why people love them.

Edit: I personally really dig Customs with rosewood 'boards. That guitar is cool.

I had it happen with ABR-1 bridges. I only have two guitars with Nashville bridges and one out of the two needs to be replaced.

Damn, I haven't had a Nashville die on me yet, even old ones. ABR? Yeah, I expect to replace those things - I am even considering removing the one on the only such-equipped guitar I own and replacing it with a Nashville as a preemptive measure.

"where's that confounded bridge?"

I will keep an eye out for this.
Is this another in the Pro column to top wrap?

I top-wrapped for a while and it worked OK, but eventually I returned to raising the tailpiece and stringing through it because I switched from 10's back to 9's. I think decking the tailpiece is overrated and doesn't do anything but put unnecessary pressure on the bridge, like Sysco says. Looks cool, but doesn't help tone.

I'm a new convert to top wrapping. Really gives me a slinking feel which helps with soloing.
