Custom Archtop Bridges
Many 1950s/60s European archtop guitars are to be found with tone-sucking plastic elements in the bridges.
I carve these pre-intonated solid bridge-tops to my own designs from various materials:
Aluminium (for greater harmonic and high-end response)
Bone (clear, natural tone with good sustain)
Brass (for more bassiness and sustain)
