Hello all.
First time posting to a forum of any kind.. very exciting !
Well, i recently acquired the neck and body of my (attainable) dream guitar - a blond Guild m65 circa 1961. Got a pickup made by local legend Lindy Frailin, spent an enjoyable afternoon grinding the cowl down to fit the smaller Franz socket.. however, I'm having a hell of a time locating an appropriate bridge. My only desire is for this guitar to play... and not look ugly. Don't have the dough or passion for a historically appropriate re-build. For a time, I was considering having the top drilled for a pinned bridge, but a well intentioned and wise friend talked me out of this.
So - what do I do ? I can't seem to find 3/4 bridges anywhere on-line. The original was for sale next to the guitar and like an idiot i did not buy it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
