Well today I got it looking like a real bridge but I still got some shaping and string notching to do.

and that took him forever...but I think it looks really good!!!

That tailpiece looks like it turned out pretty good. How thick of angle aluminum did you use? Kevin

I found 1/8" X 3/4" at Home Depot. just what I needed.

Well I got the bridge that I bought off of ebay and there's a lot of differences between what I built and the actual Mosrite bridge so I guess it's back to the drawing board. I'm trying to make an as accurate of a Mosrite bridge as I can for my clone.

In case I didn't show the bridge I got here it is.

It's always better when you have something to examine. If I recall correctly, that bridge was from Kevin Zamm and he advertised it as being a wider string spacing. So be aware of what you put it on.

actually the base plate is aluminum and the adjustment screws were really tight against the base plate so I fixed that right away but as far as the string spread it's spot on at 2" but the rollers are seized so I thought about doing what you did with those tuners and soak em in mineral spirits to try to free them up. But it's in overall great shape.
