TruVintage MannMade USA '50's Gibson Replica ABR-1 Bridge Thumbwheels & Posts
Nickel
This is another project between John Mann (MannMade USA) and Mark's Guitar Loft. There are a number of reissue thumbwheels on the market that are somewhat close but none are correct. One of the main reasons is that the exact knurling tool that was used for the original '50's thumbwheels is no longer in use. We had a machine shop take detailed measurements and inspect every detail on an original set of '50's thumbwheels I sent them. After multiple attempts to duplicate the knurl pattern we were told the only way to get it exact would be to order a custom made knurling tool so we did. Once a small number of wheels were done and nickel plated we were sent some prototypes for approval. Everything looked dead on and we approved production. The thumbwheels and posts are available in 2 versions from MannMade USA, Nickel and Relic.
