Mostly I'm just goofing around trying to get better close-up shots. Here's a few pictures of the bridge assembly. |

I need a robot. That's awesome - how long does it take to make a complete bridge ? |

There's actually another part....a brass block that fits into a recess on the back of the guitar where the string endballs are constrained. All told it's a little over an hour and a half machining per bridge....not counting the setups. |

That's flattering guys but I don't intend to sell these bridges except on my guitars.  If I did sell them, based on the cycle time and material costs they would cost north of $140...maybe higher...which may seem expensive until you compare it with anything similar. I haven't yet seen a bridge that was fully machined because to make and sell thousands of them a month...machining them entirely from raw stock isn't very practical.
