It's nice to have both bridges for a wide variety of tonal options, no modifications have been done to the guitar they're direct drop-ins. I currently have a custom fitted rosewood bridge on the guitar (because I play jazz and it gives a much woodier tone) but the guitar includes the original ABR-1/tuneomatic style bridge. You can easily nail beatles or Grant Green tone with flatwounds, or go for a janglier sound with roundwounds. The burst looks more 3 tone in person, cloer to a 60s Gibson burst. The pictures don't do it justice it's a stunning instrument and has the sound to match its looks. I custom ordered a pickguard for it to match the aesthetics of a mid-60s Gibson es-330. For sale is an Epiphone Casino made in the Peerless factory in Korea.
