Description
The Gotoh 510UB is a high quality, great looking wraparound bridge from their flagship 510 range.
The head of the bridge posts clip into T shaped slots in the bridge which creates a large contact area between the bridge and the posts, this stops forward lean of the bridge common on some wraparounds and keeps the bridge locked to the posts during restring, the posts can also be locked into the body bushing to give the most transmission of sound to the body. The wraparound features individually intonatable saddles and in addition there are allen/hex screws behind the bridge posts that can be adjusted to move the whole bridge backwards and forwards and also slant it to add more intonation room to heavy bass strings if required. The strings thread through the bridge from the top just behind the saddles and wrap around the back of the bridge and over the saddles and the bridge is supplied with steel metric 8 mm posts/studs and body bushings/anchors to fit Epiphone, PRS SE or S2 or other guitars with wraparound bridges made in East Asia.

Fitted as expected, but came missing an allen key
This part fitted as expected, replacing an original part that had lost it's plated finish due to excessive wear. The kit came with 3 allen keys, but one important allen key was missing. (I had the tool already, so the replacement was completed without too much hassle).

Good replacement bridge
Used as a direct replacement for a standard wraparound. Easy to fit and fits metric measured guitars.( that is not USA models that use imperial )
You have to slacken strings to set bridge height and intonation.
Main drawback is if you break a string it’s almost impossible to change without removing the bridge.
Very neat design and no sharp bits for the picking hand.

You may need to relocate the posts the bridge sits on
I fitted the bridge using the two posts that came with it and they screwed into the existing holes on my epiphone les paul special. I found that the two adjusting screws on the 51OUB were not long enough to get the bridge into the right place before adjusting the saddles. I found two longer screws and just about managed to do this. It looks like the easiest way would have been to relocate the posts by drilling new holes in the guitar top and moving them further away from the fretboard. It's something to bear in mind, it wasn't a simple change over.

It fitted as described
Upgrade, replacement for a PRS se, utilised existing body screws so no machining. Works a treat, feels smooth and you can tweek the intonation properly. Great product arrived quickly also.
