I'm sure Jasom Lollar can make any type pickup you decide to use.
A bridge can be made out of just about anything; like aluminum, stainless steel, brass, bone , Corian, bakelite etc
You would have to come up with specs/ design etc for someone to supply a bridge.

I searched a little while ago. Jason Lollar makes 8-string pickups and Jerry Wallace (http://www.jerrywallacemusic.com/index.htm) also does. I just built a Dynalap kit and I think it has a Wallace Truetone pickup. Sounds great.

I can supply you with a 6, 8, 10 or 12 string bridge.
They are beefy, string thru or not (for use w/Trilogy tailpiece) and you have a choice of string spacing and bar material.

Here's a better shot of the bridge(before polishing). I currently have bronze and aluminum bars. I'd like to try titainium at some point. You're looking at the last ever Lollar/Aiello horseshoe pickup. It went to Patti Maxine, that lucky gal.

Send me an email and we'll discuss parts.
