Solid rosewood reverse-belly replacement bridge with WIDER 2.0625" (2-1/16") pin-hole spacing, for vintage flat-tops whose original adjustable bridge measures 2-1/16" center to center from the low E pin hole to the high E pin hole. Our standard B-25 style bridge is 2". Please measure your original bridge before ordering, or message us and we'll help.

Made for late-'60s J-45 and J-50 style flat-tops with 2-1/16" pin spacing. Measure center-to-center across your outer pin holes, or message us a photo to confirm fit.

Guitars are meant to be played. A lot of good 1960s flat-tops ended up in closets when their original plastic adjustable bridges cracked, warped or lifted. Initial Sound bridges exist to bring those guitars back to life, so people can make music with them again.

Specs:

- Solid rosewood, reverse-belly style

- Pin-hole spacing: 2.0625" (2-1/16"), low E to high E, center to center (our standard bridge is 2")

- Saddle slot: .125" wide

- Sanded to 600 grit, buffed and polished

Designed with luthiers: the pin pattern lines up with the original, the perimeter is oversized 1/16" all around, and the back is extended a total of 1/8" behind the pin holes. It covers the original footprint cleanly and is a more substantial bridge. Michael is a machinist, and he developed this bridge with input from many luthiers.

Installation: we strongly recommend having a qualified luthier install your bridge. Removing the old bridge, preparing the top and setting placement for correct intonation is skilled work.

Not sure it fits? Message us with your guitar's model and year and a photo of the old bridge beside a ruler, and we'll confirm before you buy.
