 Please note that my bridge is installed backwards ! The posts were both moved on this bass when I bought it ! It's cool the bridge works either way !

Dr,
Mine arrived today, great job! Maybe I'll get back to the Embassy project now. Of course that means I really need to finish the two SG (guitar projects) the Tele Thinline (again guitar) the Teisco/BassVI project and the lefty G3/Ripper clone...............................Thanks  :mrgreen:

Dr WWW - a belated, but grateful thanks. Wunderschön.

Your thanks are much appreciated.  I put one on my 60's NR and forgot to take a picture.  Will when I have a minute.

I am restoring a severely disrespected Epi Elite Tbird and would like to purchase one of your bridges.

godogthunfder has bridges for 60's era TBs and I have matching tailpieces.  Does yours have the typical 3-point bridge or ar you looking for a vintage set up?
