Faber-MetricBushings-Install

The new Faber® Metric Tailpiece Bushings, for Epiphone and most other non USA made guitars. Replace the cheap, non-steel original tailpiece bushings with a pair of Faber® German carbon steel bushings, for maximum sustain, resonance and overall tone. See the FaberUSA website, www.fabuerusa.com, for further details.

This is an overlooked upgrade for low price/high value guitars. Just finished my third guitar fully upgraded on faber bushings /tailpiece/bridges.

Thanks for that great information as I’m giving my Epiphone Lazarus it’s upgraded today 👍🏻

Maybe I'm wrong but a lot of people say brass is more " musical" warmer and has better sustain and was used in a lot of vintage appointments

I just tried this on the bridge bushings with the bolt in my Faber kit and they didn't budge. And I didn't want to keep cinching down on the bolt because I'm afraid its going to split the back of the guitar. This is Justin from LA if you read this, Larry. Just ordered some E-serts from the Xmas sale.

Factory bushing are likely made of zinc.

Does this fit a inspired by Gibson Epiphone ES 335?

For sure . You may need the metric inserts for Asian guitars , for a conversion to 4mm studs . Now you can use the ABRM or ABR1 bridge of every kind . Same with the tailpiece bushings . You‘ll need the ones for Asian made guitars .

The originals probably made out of chinesium.
