Bridge replacement for Cort M600
Ok, so I have a
Cort M600
, and the
bridge
sucks. I can't set the string heights individually, just only the whole bridge by the side. Also what sucks that the higher go on the fretboard the bigger the string height is.

Is there a bridge I can pu in this guitar wich I can set all the strings heights, and it won't be so **** to play on the higher frets too?

Re: Bridge replacement for Cort M600
If you want to adjust the individual stringheight of the bridge saddles,then this is only possible by making the slots (grooves) deeper on the saddles.
if you do this incorrect you will have to replace your bridge saddles.
first messure the radius of the fretboard and the bridge to see how far off they are from eachother. then decide what to do. adjust or replace.

Re: Bridge replacement for Cort M600
Can you link one that is good for this guitar? I couldn't find anything normal. It would be cool if the strings were parallel with neck, because now the higher the you on the fretas the higher the strings.

Re: Bridge replacement for Cort M600
Has this guitar been setup? (i.e. truss rod, etc.) Is this a set-neck or bolt-on neck? If it's bolt-on, maybe shim the neck. Otherwise you need to figure out the bridge-post spacing before shopping for a new bridge. I have yet to see a TOM bridge where you could adjust individual string height.

This^^^^^
Try some neck shim first before buying a new bridge.
Most others will be the same--no individual height adjustment.
Sounds like you just need a good setup--which won't cost you....if done yourself.

Re: Bridge replacement for Cort M600
The M600 is a set neck. comes standard with a Tone pro's licensed bridge and tail.
The Babicz full contact TOM is the only "action height" adjustable TOM that I know of.......
It's pretty reasonably priced and a really nice looking piece of hardware.

Re: Bridge replacement for Cort M600
I have installed several Babicz Full Contact bridges on customer builds and I can say it is one of the best bridges I have ever used. I haven't had much time playing with one, but from a setup standpoint it is excellent. Everything is adjustable and very well made. Adjustments are simple. I highly reccommend these and the price is extremely good when compared to other TOM's. It does look a bit different though.
