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

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 13 1/2" or 14 1/2" long (as measured block-to-block) however, other lengths are
available upon request. (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

These biscuit bridges are made from well aged hard rock maple. They measure 1/4" thick by 2.30"
in diameter. The bridge portion is glued into a slot that has been machined into the biscuit. This bridge is oversized, to
allow for final fitting to your instrument. They have been developed for use on resophonic guitars that use biscuit bridges.
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.
