There was a thread about Ledbetter mandolins a while back here on the Cafe:

I'll note the OP of this thread posted 3 times. All about how great these bridges were. Then Scott revoked his membership.

actually, i just got one a week ago to replace the massively tilting origional one on my a-40. it's not brazillian rr. you will have to do a ton of sanding to fit your instrument. once i got it on, i was stunned to see that it tilted a little on the ee side. it'll do for now, but it certainly isn't anything to write home about. the shipping was really fast. just a basic bridge. having it be slotted was a plus.
