    Tks Woks.

    It's an ebay purchase from USA, so sent an ebay-email to em, can't attach pics to that, but put my email addy in the note, hoping they will contact me that way then I can maybe sort it.
    It's supposed to be a bigsby bridge but unlike the sorkin it has no branding anywhere. more like sold a $10 dud for $50.

    Cheers PK

    so PK you think it was damaged in transit ? Was it well packaged ?

    who knows what the quality would be like from an ebay seller, I usually look for sellers with at least 98 or 99% feedback

    Hi

    Woks so you can see where I have been going with this. these are all the bridges bought for this beast.
    The Sorkin Bigsby fits(bt is silver). the gold 'Bigsby' fits, but has pit in the Low E bridge, the other two are wooden based and are just too tall.
    The gold roller bridge is the floating fail option.the cute thing with the roller is the bidge posts are on 6mm.
    I would have put the roller bridge on top of the Sorkin base but the sorkin posts are 1/2 mm out for a standard LP style bridge.
    The is one final option there is a flat gold LP plate available, I assume the post spacing is standard.


    Cheers PK
