  Bridges made out of the following;

• Rosewood
• Honduras Mahogany

Hand made to the instrument at our shop.
Corrections to warped and humped bodies, humidification and
holes plugged.
Stock bridge replaced starting at $45.00
 
  Problem:
This procedure is to move the bridge back on a solid body
hard tail SG electric guitar. Low tunings and thick strings will never
play in tune with standard manufacturing placement.
Solution:
1. Measure height to make mock bridge for intonation and new bridge placement. Mark pickguard at back to see if it will cover new studs.
2. Remove studs and fill holes with Rosewood dowel.
3. String up with the gauge for final set up.
4. Shape and sand mock bridge to string height and move to intonation sweet spot.
5. Mark around mock bridge on body area of stud reinstall.
6. Drill and replace studs.
7. Replace pickguard and bridge. This will have the old holes in the pickguard unless a new one is made from scratch.
8. String up , intonate and tune.
Starting at $55.00
