Gotoh GE103BN
This bridge dropped right onto the existing posts on my 2013 MIC Epiphone Casino. The little extra width solves intonation problems with the low E and G strings. It also does away with the retaining wire found on the original bridge that sometimes causes rattles. There was some slight filing needed to deepen the slots in the saddles, but it's no problem if you have the tools. It is definitely a worthwhile upgrade IMO.

Successful replacement for Epiphone Casino
This bridge was a drop-in replacement for my 2013 Epi Casino, whose stock bridge suffered from the buzzing common on the Casinos. The nickel finish matches the rest of the hardware on the guitar. I did end up filing the low E saddle a bit as the string kept slipping out (I use 10s). My experience with Philadelphia Luthier was without complaint. Shipped and received in a timely manner. All in all, 10/10, would recommend!

be aware
Be aware that the saddles are not meant to be removed, so don't count on being able to flip them for more intonation range. Also the string slots are very shallow, so with 10 guage strings, I had trouble keeping them in the slots given the break angle on my guitar.

good reasonably priced Nashville bridge
You can pay 5 times this price for a zinc Nashville bridge. in my opinion you won't find a significantly better zinc bridge, assuming the dimensions work on your guitar. using this on a Peerless Gigmaster Jazz to replace the OEM ABR-1 that has an annoying buzz. the Gotoh casting is high quality and for my money works better than the original. you will probably want to file and dress the little micro-notches on the saddles as somebody else said.

Just the ticket
Drop in replacement for Ibanez AF floating bridge. Quality fit and finish, and a bargain. Shallow saddle slots, so be prepared with your Hosco nut slot files from Philadelphia Luthiers!

Good quality
This is a good quality bridge, a little bulky for my liking, but one thing that I didn’t like is after installing the bridge I noticed it made my guitar dark sounding in a way that I didn’t like after that I ended up removing it

Nice hardware
I used the ABM M8 to smooth 4mm conversion posts to put this Nashville bridge on an Epiphone, and it was a perfect fit. The saddles were notched, but only slightly, so I cut deeper notches myself. I wanted to turn a couple of the saddles around for better intonation, but I couldn't figure out how to take it apart, so I left it alone (it's not the same as other Gibson-style Nashville bridges where the saddles are easy to remove).
