I need to point out that this was the first time i tried doing a radiused bridge of this type. I ended up grinding down the ends too thin leading to a little splinter of bone falling off. Next time I will actually glue the bone to a radiused wood base. That way it has a consistent thickness.
I am quite happy with the way that the rest of it came out though. This will greatly reduce the weight on the top of the guitar its going on as well as eliminate the rattle that made the other bridge unusable. I may end up making a tail piece to match but it looks pretty spanky on the guitar anyway.
All the work was done with a band saw, disk sander and needle files with some 600 grit and a bit of linseed oil to make it shine.
This was make for a new sammick Silvertone 335 copy

Eh, maybe for a real 335 not for this. each one of these bridges takes more than an hour to make and leaves me with sore hands. I cant even imagine the kind of crazy it takes to make pickup covers. I also lack a thickness sander at the moment which would make it possible to get those thin pieces of I would need to do it.
I cant lick my own elbow:)
I actually used to be a professional luthier not too long ago. I went to school at Roberto Venn and then worked at Rainsong Graphite guitars for 3 years. Most of the guitars you hear in my recording were something I built. I have been getting back into lately because I want to make some extra money on the side.
