Another graduate from Red Wing on the loose here in Wichita is butching up stuff right and left. This time he split the ebony bridge in half on a 70's Guild D55 - one owner. I don't have the time to make a new one from scratch. Ideas?

Chris is it any different from the one being used currently? If not, would Guild sell you the parts?

Or is it this one? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Guild-Acous ... SwYIhWh0-8)

I assume it's a horizontal split? Across the string holes? Saddle slot? And he wants to keep the original, right? Any way to do an hourglass shaped inlay near each edge of the thick part that would assist in keeping it glued together?

Or there is this one. (http://www.elderly.com/accessories/inst ... bridge.htm) Supposedly "oversize, for replacement work".

Or one here. (http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/gbridge_acoustic.htm)
