Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone who uses a pinless bridge could make me one.

I built a guitar with the help of Harry Fleishman and his "Luthier School International" courses. A lot of the guitar design was created by asking myself, "I wonder what would happen if..." So this guitar, even though it's my first one, is kind of an "R&D" guitar.

I'd like to replace the current "pinned" bridge with a pinless one. The guitar currently has an ebony Martin-style pyramid bridge. I unfortunately don't have the tools at this point to make a pinless bridge myself.

I had something along the lines of a Martin tiple bridge in mind:





However, I'm open to any "standard design" anyone may have, or a modified design so that the design isn't close enough to someone's existing guitars. Feel free to reply to this post, or e-mail me at kahalenahele at gmail dot com. I don't currently have any pics of my guitar on the internet, but I can provide photos on request.

Thanks,

Allparts has a pinless bridge similar to the one Ovation uses.

Thanks! I looked at several other places - don't know why Allparts escaped my mind.
