Howdy everyone, I am working on a project acoustic, and need an acoustic 6 string bridge with 2 1/8" spacing, Martin style, with saddle, but only 1/4" think. Everything that I have found so far has been 3/8".

I know what you are going to say....make one, well I am not set up to do the plaining to 1/4" or be able to route the saddle slot. Maybe in the future but not at this point in time.

So any advice you can share will be very helpful.

Thanks
Bill
