Semi-finished bridges

[Darryl Wolfe]

I am in process of finishing up another batch of bridges (don't say it Hans). As you know there are numerous steps and set-ups to arrive at the finished product.

I was wondering if the builders in the community would be interested in a product that saved them time, yet let them do their own thing with a bridge.

For example, I have hundreds of perfectly dimensioned, machine finish rectangular bridge blanks. Most of them are "cove cut" on the top edges and most are drilled and tapped with standard F5 spacing.

I have the same for bridge tops, no graduations or wheel reliefs cuts or rounded ends.

Any "boy I'd like to have such and such" comments to mull over on the subject?

I'd be interested in some, especially saddles.
I usually re-shape, sand and polish any bases that I buy anyway, and usually make my own saddles. Drilling those holes, spaced correctly, is a PITA for me without a jig.

(Actually, Steve Smith is working on a saddle shape for me...I hope...(Steve, ya out there?). )

I haven't been around much lately but still am working on a few. I'd be interested in some tops and bottoms also. Unless some one with more urgent needes needes them.

Hi Daryl,

I may be interested in one or three, I have been thinking about a pickup, the Schertler bluestick for mando. These are not a piezo transducer, but a small mic integrated into the metal strip, and designed for under saddle installation on a flat top instrument. I have one on my guitar, and it's far and away the best sounding pickup I've ever heard. I'm using a Fishman for mando now, but think this would be better. The element is 3/32x1&4/5. They come longer also. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
David
