VINTAGE ONE V - ZAMAK - Nickel
Vintage ONE V
Vintage ONE V is a KMS ABR-1-style Tune-O-Matic bridge built around a controlled vacuum die-cast ZAMAK body blank. KMS then precision-machines the function-critical geometry and contact interfaces for repeatable fit and alignment. It pairs this body architecture with finished V-shaped string contacts that center common guitar-string gauges without conventional gauge-specific saddle-slot filing.
Why choose Vintage ONE V
- Finished V contacts for defined lateral string guidance
- No conventional saddle-slot filing for common gauge changes
- 6-32 or M4 direct-post versions — select the thread that matches the guitar
- Body-material direction: openness, liveliness and vintage-oriented response

Do not file the V contacts. They are finished functional geometry; filing changes string height, radius and guidance.
Compatibility
ONE and Vintage ONE use the compact ABR-1-style mounting format. Choose the direct-post version that matches the guitar; where a suitable bushing-mounted instrument needs conversion to 6-32, use the appropriate KMS Conversion Posts.
For mounting identification, measurements and installation, see ONE & Vintage ONE Installation Guide .
Optional CRYO treatment, where offered, is a separate material-conditioning choice and does not change bridge geometry or mounting compatibility.
