I know this has been discussed, but I can’t find the thread now. Nobody makes a TOM style bridge suitable for a carved or arched topped multi scale guitar, right?

The only multi scale bridges I can find are on flat plates or individual pieces that are meant for slab guitars where the strings are parallel to a flat body and a max of about 6mm above the body (Hipshot, Schaller). Have I missed something?

There was a TOM being manufactured named Cepheus and sold through Rondo Music. Not sure if it's still manufactured but I imagine you could reach out to them to get the scoop.

Oooo… That’s the ticket! I’ll see if it’s still being made.

If you find a manufacturer please let us know. Haven't really looked for one yet but it's been in the back of my mind.

Rondo Music says they don’t have it and don’t know when or if they will get it again. :-(
