Fabricating a stringmaster bridge

Post by Nathan Laudenbach »

I have a 26” Stringmaster D8 that I need some parts for. Looks like the bridges are not available anywhere currently. I’m considering having them made, the problem is that I do not have the dimensions to be able to show a machinist so that they can fabricate an exact copy. I’d be happy to pay someone to draw up a sketch for me. Is there anyone here who would be able to do that? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. I know I could wait around and eventually they will pop up on ebay, but I’d rather get this guitar put together sooner than later.

I have one I can sketch out but it will take some time to do so.
