I imagine this will not be a very popular item, but on the off chance u are building a lefty, here is a very nice coco bridge (OLF SJ). Bottom is flat. It has EV finish. I'm guessing it will be a while before I build another lefty. And please don't ask why it's not on the guitar I built. Lol. All I ask is u can use it soon and post a pic when done. It's hand crafted from Hibdon coco. Free to first taker |

Thats a very cool offer Mike. I can't use it but I'm sure someone out there could. |

Hey, just use it on a fanned fret guitar. The bridge placement on those is so out of whack that you can get away with the saddle taper going in the wrong direction. |

Heh-heh. I've got just the lefty box awaiting that bridge. Of course my coco adi box didn't start out lefty but lo and behold it has a sound port for a lefty (wonder how that happened). Anyhow, if still available, I can use it. |

Tom, pm me your address. Btw, if u don't like shiny, buff it with a scotch brite pad. Turns an awesome satin. |

Excellent! Perhaps we could start a luthier rescue program where builders can adopt stray parts. Don't feel bad, Mike, I think most of us have stuff that could use a good home!

Seems like a good idea. Maybe Lance will consider it. Sort of a luthier's Island of Misfit Toys. |

And if it comes to fruition, I'm sure my bonehead mistakes could keep it fed. |

I imagine most of us have a stash of stuff that we will never use that might fit someone else's bill.... |
