That looks pretty close to a Bach bridge, but with different screws. It's not as nice looking as, say, a Cataldo bridge, but this is probably great for a homemade build on a budget.

It's not pretty close to a BaCH bridge. It IS a BaCH bridge. Screws are identical.

I stand corrected! I thought Bach bridges had phillips head screws?  ;D

Anyways, why this is going for so little on ebay is beyond me.

[Edit:] I see now that the picture they used is of the BACK of the bridge, where the ends of the screws are.  :thumbsup:

About the price. It doesn't cost much to manufacture this kind of bridge.
BaCH has been asking more for this bridge to earn back some of the development costs.
They went through some prototypes before they got it right.

The seller on Ebay obviously doesn't have that history. I have no idea where they buy these bridges. My best guess is straight from the manufacturer in Korea.
