Why do you think you need to replace the bridge that came on the guitar? What problem are you trying to fix?

Probably this one, but I have no idea if it is a direct replacement.

Before spending all that money, I would get the guitar professionally set up first.

You complained about intonation didn't you? Get it professionally set up and that may no longer be a problem. :wink:

Comfort is relative. There is no guarantee that the Hipshot bridge, if it even fits your guitar, will be more comfortable.

the metal on the hipshot look alot more rounded and smoother so id say it would be more comfortable because of no sharp edges
i geuss i could just replace the saddles tho in steed of the whole bridge that would be easier right
