Acoustic Guitar Bridge USA Luthier Made WV Black Cherry Martin style six-string

Acoustic Guitar Bridge.

Black Cherry

Six-string, Martin style.

USA Luthier (ret.) Made

2 1/4" string spacing

I’ve retired from lutherie, but still like to putter around in the shop.  So I've been making bridges and slotting fretboards.  This bridge is made from West Virginia Black Cherry.  One of America's premium furniture woods, Cherry has structural and density characteristics that make it excellent for fretboards and bridges.  It's an extremely stable wood and mellows into a rich reddish-brown without the use of stains or dye. 

The bridge has the standard Martin outline with a 3/32" saddle slot width. Apart from the string spacing and a slightly larger footpring, its overall dimensions are virtually the same as Stewmac’s  standard bridge (4923).  I like to think mine is significantly better than those Stewmac sells; and I know for sure it's better than those you can get from the Far East.) 

It 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.

 If you're just starting out in lutherie, this set will get you through some of the tricky parts.  I think you’ll like it.  As always, if you do not, send it back to me and I’ll cheerfully refund your money.
