The bridge that came with the guitar was not original, so I replaced that with a rosewood bridge for now, and will eventually put a tune o matic style on.

Their debut, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This, has become a runaway hit thanks to the overwhelming success of the title tune, but a listen to the whole disc reveals an overabundance of talent pervad- ing every cut.
One might expect electropop from the nation that gave us cuckoo clocks and cheese with holes to be slightly eccentric.

Tune-o-matic bridge added (with "ABR-1" on the bottom side of the bridge and no wire to hold the saddles in place), stud tailpiece moved back to anchor strings (stop tailpiece).
By fall 1955, the tuneamatic bridge and stop tailpiece was adopted (solving the intonation complaint), making the Goldtop a big winner.
The second problem was if the trapeze was knocked from the side, the whole guitar would go out of tune.

 ESP Guitars - Viper George Lynch Kirk Hammett
The guitar's tune-o-matic/stop tail arrangement is just the ticket for stable tuning and, even with the gain set flat out and most of the middle ducked on our amp, the string balance was very impressive indeed.
As with most affordable ESP guitars worth their salt these days, the Viper is equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan’s excellent Duncan Design pickups, specifically a set of HB102s.
It's described by ESP as "Green Satin" but let's not beat about the bush; this is a mucky tank hue that fits perfectly within the nu genre.
