Well, that kinda depends on:
a) are you trying to copy his setup exactly?
b) what guitar do you have?
Have you read up on them? I've been using them for a few years on both of my Warmoth guitars and really like them, but I know a few people feel that they take away some highs.
All of the model information is here: http://www.graphtech.com/products.html?CategoryID=3
There are lots of different sizes, so you'll need to know the current width of your bridge.
Cheers

that's funny, I did the same thing with my Warmoth that I built one month ago:
My bridge is also almost the same as the one Suhr is using, mine has those extra bits on the sides... a Gotoh EV-510T (instead of the Gotoh 510T) |

I enjoy finding minor tweaks to my guitars. I used to do them because I wanted to hear them but now I've got to the point where I know what to do to alter the tone to what I want to hear.

To a degree , but in the week long course at IGF ... I found the pickup height on one guitar needed adjusting and it made a deal of difference to me.
This was on the Tokai ES-120 with a Phat Cat and a Jazz neck with an Earvana nut, rewired to allow for a blended sound in the bid setup and sprague caps (so my geek tinkerings credentials are there to see ;^)
I practised for 30 mins on the train in today using my Jap tele with a 5 way switch, 470uF tone cap, treble mod, bone nut, 1M volume pot and 500k tone pot (getting the idea :^) _________________ Fabulous powers were revealed to me the day I held my magic Suhr(d) aloft and said "by the power of great scale!"
