I like making My Mando's As Flat Tops , usally about 1/8" curve across the 12" Width . I Also like using Adjustable Bridges . However I hvae had to take the Adjustable Bridges and sand them flatter on the base to fit my set up . Question is Does ANYONE make an Adjustable Bridge FOR Flatops ?

I have checked the obvious places and , either its not there or I have missed it .

I would Also appreciate Links to Custom PickGuards for Mandos If anyone Can recommend any .
I would appreciate any Links Thanks

Making the base of the adjustable bridge is the easy part (especially if it's going on a flat top). Just make a new one yourself and use the parts from the bridge you have.

Here is a picture of one that I made a long time ago for a octave mandolin I used to have.

Hello Wudwerkr,

I make adjustable bridges for flat mandolins. I have modified my standard Cumberland Acoustic mandolin bridge (normally made to work on carved top mandolins) to work on our RedLine Traveler mandolins. You can take a look at the bridges on the mandolins on this website...

If you see anything you like, let me know.
