Bridge Price
Does anyone know what the ballpark figure is to get a pro quality bridge made with aluminum adjusters? The only "quality" shop near me is charging $550.00 for a bridge with aluminum adjusters and that's before taxes...Seems high?

Depending on the market you're in, I don't think thats too far off the mark. Though, I haven't had to replace a bridge in a long time.

Why do you need or think you need a new Bridge? Unless it's broken, warped or 3/8" or more too low the old Bridge should still be usable. I have shimmed many bridges in the legs of the un-threadded part of the adjusters from 3/16" -1/4" height or so after re-cutting the top to re-space the notches to my liking. Just because you don't know how to do this yourself doesn't mean you need a new bridge. That is assuming we are at option #4 and not 1-3.

Calvin, if you tell them that you want a student model they won't charge you near that much for it. It is basically how long they spend on detail work. The foot fitting, and arch are just as good IMO.

Please no assuming. This could be a store, person in Toronto, Boston, anywhere. I don't want any person or store named.

bridge adjusters
Check to see if the bridge fits the top, if it does and it is not leaning forword, if so the bidge is fine, string spacing can be changed fairly easily, and putting adjusters on is not rocket surgery.
