One of the things I've given a lot of thought to is offering reproduction parts as true to the originals as I possibly can. I think it will give people an option to restore their gutiar rather than parting it out. I think I've figured out how to do everything but the tremolo and the bridges. The thing holding me back on the bridges was the ability to chrome or nickel plate and with the recent bass thread that seems like a great solution.

So, the next thing I need is some dimensions for bridges that I do not have in my possession. If someone out there has calipers and would kindly provide some measurements that would be awesome!

I need to know overall width and wall thickness for: Bass bridge and the bridge used for 6 & 12 strings.

I need to know the diameter of the saddles for: Bass bridge and 6 string standard.

I think that about covers it.

If someone happens to know what the original material of the Moseley bridge is that would be great information.

Thanks!

unless someone beats me to it, I'll get ya measurements on the 6 string tomorrow. need to go get a new battery for my digital caliper anyway....

here you go Sarah. sorry for the crudity of this drawing, I just did this tonight free hand while measuring my semie made mosrite bridges. If you aren't sure about anything on here, just ask

you know I never really thought about this until tonight when I measured this bridge, but from the side view of this bridge, the outline of the M shows up again. pretty kewl

Thanks! That's very helpful. I'll print these off.

it is kinda funny, but I really think this was done on purpose, if you closely examine a mosrite, you will find the hidden M's.

Pretty cool!

I'll do a seperate thread on this subject.
