I want to buy a "radiused" Randy Wood Bridge for my Gibson Sam Bush F5. I can find the flat top bridge but, I can't find the radiused.
Someone help me!! PLEASE http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I thought that Elderly carried but I looked and didn't see one. #To be honest, I would try the Cumberland Acoustic radiused bridge because I have bought two of the Randy Wood bridges in the past and they just weren't quite as deep sounding as Steve's. #Of course every mando is different! You could always try one of f5journl's bridges as well because I think Gibson wanted him to make their bridges but he couldn't make as many as they needed. I wanted to try one but never could get in touch with him very easily so I gave up and just stuck with my factory Gibson bridge on my Bush. So you are giving up on the Ivory top? I think that the Cumberland and f5journl's bridge saddles will fit your existing base if it is the one from the factory.

Why don't you try contacting Randy Wood in Savannah? He has a website and I have bought a bridge from him. Do a search on Randy Wood Guitars....

Or...get a Steve Smith ebony bridge. They are used by many of the best builders. They are exact Loar copies from what I have been told.
