Hi, I cant get my stoptail high enough so the strings always touch the back of the bridge on my custom core stock bridge. 

Is there a smaller faber bridge that would fit? Do I need anything else for it then?

Bridge Type Approx. Length  
ABR‑1 (ABR) Shorter, narrower footprint Vintage design; limited saddle travel; lighter.
Nashville Longer, wider footprint Modern design; more intonation range; larger body and saddle slots.
 

Farber is ABR-1 sized.  You can also top wrap the stop tail for better clearance, but the disadvantages are scaring the surface and if your style has your palm scraping over the strings, not too comfortable.

  • Nashville bridges are physically longer because the housing is wider and the saddles have more room to move.

  • ABR‑1 bridges are more compact, which is why vintage Gibson spacing and post locations differ from Nashville-equipped guitars.

Yeah, I already now that. But some people here, as I already read changed the pinnacle bridge to an faber ABR-1 Style because the bridge is smaller and the string wont hit the back anymore.
