Hello my friends.
I have recently been approached by a very good friend to repair a guitar that was his father's.
It is a Harmony H165..... a very odd little instrument indeed.
All mahogany unbound body, very crude and minimal ladder braces, and a very odd pinless bridge with bolts on the wings. [headinwall]

Anyway..... I have informed him that it is worth very little money, and about anything he spends to repair it would make him upside down on any residual value it may have. However.... it is the classic story of the sentimental attachment to a family heirloom.

Long story short.... I have no desire to craft a new bridge for this thing.

Anyone know where to find a reproduction bridge or have one laying around your shop?

Here are some pics for reference.

Almost 60 views and no assistance or comments.
Is that telling me something?

Yep, that 60 people think you should make your own bridge.
