Archtop
Guitar Bridge Here we have one of our most recently
released items. I worked closely with legendary Nashville repair and vintage instrument guru David Harvey to produce this
reproduction archtop guitar bridge. David loaned me several vintage Gibson archtop bridges, dating from the early 1900's and
forward. I borrowed the best design attributes from these bridges, and came up with what we feel to be a perfect replacement
for just about any archtop guitar, and especially appropriate for early model L-1 through L-7, etc. archtop models. This bridge
required extensive retooling, but I feel the results are well worth it. As a repair person, or archtop enthusiast, you now
have a more attractive option than putting a cheap, incorrectly designed imported bridge on your fine instrument. Top quality
ebony is used in the construction of this bridge. Smaller adjustment wheels are used so as not to impair its tonal qualities.
The compensated saddle has been radiused to work well with radiused fretboards. Thumbwheels are available with either nickel
or gold plating. This ebony archtop guitar bridge measures 9/16" thick X 1 1/8" high (at its lowest position) X
5 3/8" long. As with all bridges of this type, it will require final fitting to the exact contour of the top of the instrument
it will be going on. Mr. Harvey recently fit one on an early 1900's Gibson harp guitar that he restored. The results were
stunning! Rich, loud bass tones, bright and clear treble notes, with a great balance between the two extremes. As with all
of our items, your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not 100% pleased with this bridge, you can return it in unused condition
to us for a complete refund. Price: $90.00 Choose your thumbwheel plating: |

DUAL ACTION TRUSS ROD
Sometimes called "over and
under" truss rods, these rods are constructed with two steel cold finish steel rods and two brass blocks. Each rod is
covered with a heat-shrink material to minimize buzzing and rattling, and to allow for easier adjustment.
Guitar Truss
Rods are generally 14," 14 1/2" or 17"
long (as measured block-to-block) however, other lengths are available in the drop down menu. (Truss Rod in picture above
is shorter to show detail.)
Available with either a 1/4" hex nut end, or a 1/8" allen wrench end. Please make "length" and "end" choices below
before ordering.

GUITAR PEG WINDER This elegant string winder has been
designed to cut down the time required to change strings on the guitar. The pocket that comes into contact with the tuner
knobs is the pefect size for guitar tuner knobs. Also, the size of the crank fits perfectly between the tuner knobs. It is
made from finished hardwood (your choice of walnut, figured maple or mahogany). It sports a felt bottomed cup to prevent damage
to the tuner knobs. Save your fingers, and protect the pegs and peghead of your valuable guitar. Also a great gift idea! Price:
$25.00

They are a perfect replacement for both Dobro and National syle resophonic guitars that are fitted with a 9 1/2" cone.
These biscuits are available either unfinished, or painted black. A mounting screw is included with each biscuit.
