Bowtie inlays

**timsmcm** · 12-13-2023, 01:15 AM

Would any of you fine folks know where I might find some well crafted bowtie inlays for Gibson type bridge bases? I am about to make some new bridges, ebony saddles and tom bridges. Can't find what I want so will make some. I have Googled but I may be typing the wrong phrases in. Nothing comes up.

I can't say this is the go-to source, but it's a good place to start.....As an fyi, I'd doubt that there are five of these suppliers.....there may be three but that could be it......And they prefer making and selling complete sets...

Good luck !

If Andy doesn't have what you want he can custom make if for you. I've had him do several for me and they have been reasonable
