    Default wrap around bridges

    The type of bridge found on early Gibbo's, just the plain metal bar.

    Is it possible to get reasonable intonation with these bridges ? If so, any tips ?

    You can get them with adjustable saddles now, which will help with intonation...

    The basic ones even have two adjustment screws... I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it. I highly doubt you'd notice a difference.

    check out pigtail's wraparound bridges. they have both vintage replicas and intonatable wraps and are known to be of high quality.

    Do you play acoustic? They don't have adjustable bridges. Does that bother you?

    It might bother a pristine clean jazzer, but if you are gonna let it rawk, don't worry.
