The underside is stamped \u003cstrong\u003e“Gibson ABR-1”\u003c\/strong\u003e and features the circular foundry mark (appears to read “DJ”) consistent with \u003cstrong\u003eKalamazoo Metal Specialties\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bridge retains its original thumbwheels and shows typical cosmetic wear for its age, with a nice, naturally aged patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"820\" data-start=\"522\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe saddles are hard with a slightly textured surface, likely nylon. It’s worth noting that a few early ABR-1s from around 1962 were fitted with nylon saddles prior to the introduction of the retaining wire, making this potentially a transitional example. However, this cannot be confirmed. Even so, this ABR-1 is a great vintage-correct piece equally suitable for restoration or a high-quality build.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GIbson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48215260922095,"sku":"33026A","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5341\/files\/Early-1960s-Gibson-ABR1-Bridge-1.jpg?v=1774898294","url":"https:\/\/gpguitars.com\/en-eu\/products\/gibson-abr-1","provider":"Garrett Park Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
