Hi Folks,
I am looking for an Ebony bridge, similar to Martins, with a 2 5/16 pin spacing.
Is Martin the only place I can buy it???
Thanks!
Walter

Hi Walter

John Hall at blues creek can probably make you one.

Walter--
I bet you could make one yourself. That's one of the parts of guitar building I find truly enjoyable.
Unlike routing the binding channels.

i don't know of anyone else advertising to supply them.

but steve is right; they are easy and enjoyable to make, buying them in seems a waste.crazymanmichael38553.9682638889

G'day Walter,
              I'm sure you could do this yourself, and really enjoy the work . More importantly, you could be proud of your own work!
     That's what we are all about aren't we?
Too many builders are farming out work ."Their" guitars are actually being made by several people entering the folds of production guitar makers.
   Not making your own would probably be a sin. (Now that is a joke Walter)

All the Best, KiwiCraig

Incidently Walter, I think Ebony isn't a good choice for bridges as it has been found to be tonally inferior compared to rosewoods etc.
