Wow that looks great. I would just leave it natural like Gibson would have.

the bridge is a funny story. I found on a german site. it was for my pontiac gold t bird build a few years back (avatar) and I went with the black (in honor of Unk & Uwe of course). I should take a pic of the PG . I had an old pontiac logo made. 
Unk was the owner/friend in high school that had a big Pontiac 2 door with a big block and a 3 speed shift on the steering column. This  car could hold  3 in front , 4 in back seat and countless cases  of brewskis& gear.
I have to plane it an see the figure 1st.

Im thinkin   black or grey top ,natural back. Maybe a black/natural burst.i love natural mahog. tough part is wiring but Im on that also. I love the process.

Interesting.  So it mounts on posts like a tune-o-matic?

Are those saddles really wafer thin or is it just a trick of light?

Where do I get one?

at the moment its 3/4".(2 3/8" E-G)there are 5  adjust nuts on each saddle,3-height ,1 lock & 1 for lateral saddle adjust. there is about 1/16 " on either side of saddle which makes it flexible. there are mounting holes under saddles for fixed mount.Im drilling 'cause I like the flexibility. slots are small so  some file work is necessary,which I like. i remember it was about $150.00. but that was several years back, I think.
