Need EIR pyramid bridge 2 1/4 pin spacing. Right now not have tools to make one. Stew Mac nor LMI apparently not sell them.

Any help would be appreciated. Will post on classifieds also.

See what happens when sell out shop and then need something.

Andy Birko on the forum sells them for $29.50 for EIR. His website is :

Pretty hard to go wrong with Andy.

On ebay from China there are many in various species. They are cheap, but maybe the quality is, too. Seems to me the previous posts about CITES might apply.

+1 for Andy.

I was able to check out some of his bridges in person & they're awesome. The finish off his machine(s) is very good, maybe a little 320 grit & finer then they're done.

I've bought some of the ebay ebony ones in the past and there is nothing wrong with them. Pin spacing if I recall is 2-3/8" though...
