Ted McCarty's Tune-o-Matic bridge (also known as the ABR-1) appeared on higher-end Gibson guitars as early as 1954. The ABR-1 was added to the Les Paul Model in 1956, along with the individual saddles to adjust each string's length, and thumbwheels to adjust the overall height of the bridge. The system which is also featured on this reissue series Gibson VOS 56 Les Paul Goldtop represented a quatum leap forward to intonation and a marked improvement in tone and sustain.
