Does anyone carry pre-shaped Gibson J200 bridges? I've never seen them offered anywhere.

Joe, thanks for the tip....it is still available, but "call for price" is usually a bad sign. I figured $150ish for a real Gibson J200 bridge....but I'm not even close wow7-eyes

I think ill try the ebay seller (thanks bftobin) idunno

I hear that Laurie. If it was me I'd just do a close copy of one of there's. People have been making faux martin bridges for years and years.

You are probably right about 'the call for price'. Sounds like they hold that bridge in high regard.

That is a pretty funny one. I could maybe see it if it was the last one in the world and you couldn't just make your own. They probably bought it as surplus from Gibson for $2.75
