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)
