I am going to replace my bridge and tail piece (probably pins as well) on my Gibson 335. Any recommendations would be appreciated!Thanks

What kind of kind of tailpiece and bridge are on there?...Nashville or ABR-1 bridge? Stop tail or trapeze tailpiece?

I have a locking faber abr on mine with brass saddles on its original posts with faber locking tailpiece studs with the original Gibson lightweight tailpiece. Sounds nice and airy with no rattles or odd vibes going on as per its original hardware. Lots of choices on faber bridges and well made stuff.

This is what I put on my Heritage 535 and have been really happy with it.

+1 for Faber. Really made a difference with my Les Paul.

Well, there are several ABR replacements out there, but I've not found a lot of difference tone-wise there. I have the Faber locking studs on my stop-tail Gibsons, along with the lightweight aluminum tailpieces....definitely an improvement with that set-up.

I went with Callaham parts on my '07 335. Much better than the stock stuff, supposed to be 'vintage correct' (weight, style, etc). Very happy I made the change.
Side note - I also changed out the Gibson 'Kluson' tuners with real Klusons from StewMac...unreal difference. The Gibby's were junk, comparatively, much like to stock hardware.

I've got Faber locking bridges and tailpieces on all my guitars that use 'em. Big improvement!

I don't have a 335, but I do have a Les Paul that I put the Faber system on. I would recommend the Faber locking bridge & tailpiece system.
