Re: !917 Gibson Plain A Style - Bridge ???
Here is a picture of my 1917 A-3 showing the bridge. It's a fixed bridge, made of ebony and is compensated with alternating cutouts on each string set - first set forward, second set back, third set forward, fourth set back. Sorry, it's not the best picture. I have to take some some. LOL.
I'm quite sure that the bridge is original since I'm the second owner in the same family. IIRC, the serial number was penciled onto the bottom of the bridge, although it's been quite a while since I had it off.
I hope this helps.
1917 Gibson A-3, '64 Martin A, 2016 Rhodes F5R.
