Acoustic Guitar Bridge USA Luthier Made Caribbean Rosewood Martin style 6-string

Acoustic Guitar Bridge

Caribbean Rosewood, also called Chechen

Six-string Martin style, 2 ¼” string spacing

USA Luthier (ret.) Made

Only two left

I’ve retired from lutherie, but still like to putter around in the shop.  So I’m making bridges, at least for the time being.  I make them personally in small lots of twelve or so.  This one is made from Chechen, a.k.a. Caribbean Rosewood.  Except for its 2 1/4" string spacing and slightly larger footprint the dimensions are virtually the same as Stewmac’s standard bridge (4923).  I like to think mine is better than the one Stewmac sells; and I know for sure it is better than those you can get from the Far East.

Caribbean Rosewood is particularly good for bridges and the like.  It polishes beautifully, has a grain pattern that's more interesting than East Indian Rosewood and is not oily, which makes it easy to glue (unlike the Indian variety).  The color is a warm brown rather than the maroon and purple you see in Indian Rosewood.

This one also has a particular refinement I often build into my bridges:  the peg holes are in a gentle arc rather than a straight line.  That way, you don’t have six holes lining up through the long grain and inviting a longitudinal split.  (Any repair guy will tell you how often that’s a problem with the Martin-style bridge.)  There’s no effect on intonation, etc.  And it does look kind of cool.  Check out the picture.

Try it.  I think you’ll like it.  If not, send it back to me and as always, I’ll cheerfully refund your money.
