Solid Bridge
This one's a great bridge. Last time I took the wrong modification, and I couldn't install it, so had to repurchase. This one now works great. I feel like this is much more sturdier than my previous bridge that had the spring-fixed saddle adjusters.
My only gripe with it is that I had to get it to the luthier to file the saddle notches for strings. Those are very tiny, and I'm not sure which gauge they're intended for. Seem too small for any kind, while I use a 12 - 60 set.

Gotoh GE103B-T CB Review
First and foremost, a decent product if you're looking to replace your faulty or existing bridge. It feels really well put together and the action, when adjusting for intonation is really smooth. I did, however, find the saddle cut-outs to be on the small side. Most of them aren't too bad and, so far, I haven't had a problem with any strings coming off their saddles apart from the bottom. I use a .58 (B tuning) and it's respective saddle needed filing down a little for it to stay put. With a standard set, i'm sure it'll be okay. As said, the rest of the strings (.13, .17, .26, .36, .46) are fine.

Overall great but keep the old studs, just in case
I wanted to replace all my hardware to black on my 2022 Epiphone Les Paul Custom. The bridge is overall great, has a nice weight, all though the studs are smaller than the originals, so they won't stay in place. Anyways, I've kept the old studs and installed it with that. Maybe later a guitar tech can fill in the hole a bit and install the ones it came with.
Also, you'll have to file it for the strings to sit properly, some pre cutting from the factory would be nice to have.

gotoh bridge
the pegs fit in the existing holes fine, nice and tight so there is no risk of them coming loose, the only downside is the pegs (in the existing holes) are slightly too far apart! you can get the bridge on the pegs and it stays in place which is better than it falling off when re-stringing i suppose!
