They're nice bridges... nothing at all wrong with them. Better in some respects, but not dramatically so. Not worth the premium price, if you ask me, although you wouldn't be sorry if you bought one. Definitely first-class stuff. But, if you're looking for something high-quality, high-performance and somewhat different in appearance so people know you're a discerning builder, you might want to pay attention to some of the Gotoh or Hipshot models for fixed bridges. As for vibratos, Wilkinson makes some of the finest units out there as well. Unless you have a hard-on for vintage appearance, stay away from the six-point vibratos, regardless of manufacturer. Along the same lines, I'd avoid the Floyd Rose or Kahler models as well. Far too heavy and complex for such a simple task, although they do look cool from a teen-aged "Transformer" point of view <grin>
