The EG112 was Yamaha's entry level model Pacifica superseded by the PAC012.

It had an Alder body according to Yamaha's code and the original spec. although I've seen and heard of some later EG112s allegedly being Agathis bodies. As the first digit denotes Alder, technically, it should be Adler. Otherwise it was 012 spec, but with truly rubbish tuners. The block on the 012 bridge has even less mass than the one in the 112V, and it's nothing to shout about. If I did a lot of vibrato work, I'd replace the 112V's, but I don't, and I have the 612VII for that should it become a requirement.

So yer ditch that bridge. Buy a Wilkinson. You won't be disappointed.

The benefit of putting in the work is the knowledge, experience and confidence gained. The reward is definitely worth the effort in my book, and provided you stay within your personal doable remit, it's fun if you find that kind of thing fun. I do.
