Brass Bridges

[renton]

Now that i've seen a interesting topic on Floyd Rose Bridges in the EVH grail threads lets all of us see if we can nail down the various brass bridges in use before Floyd appears! Renton,WA.

GOOD LUCK [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] There were many used and various manufactures. Different saddles, different widths. Charvel was a custom shop so you want this or that - you got it. Wayne also sold parts. Shops like Bizzare Guitar bought necks and bodys and could make customs for buyers and they had many styles of Bridges. I believe Eric posted a vast amount of availble bridges from the 76-86 time frame on Charvel Central.

Re: Brass Bridges

really how many different brass V-trems did they have. ive only seen 3 the 2 bent plate ones with long straighter saddle holes the key hole saddles & the one with larger base plate kinda like the brass fixed bridges?

I'm not counting any bizarre guitars stuff or other special one off/ small shop offerings but "factory" charvel.

The Bazzar Guitar I was talking about was in Las Vagas, Nevada.

Charvel Mfg and Charvel Jackson was a small shop with custom offerings? They were a Custom Shop. They had thier good times and they had thier bad times. When there was a need they used brass from where they could get it supplied - so there are one offs from the Chravel Factory also.

Re: Brass Bridges

Bizarre Guitar is in Reno actually and Greg the owner still runs the place and still has bodies and necks from the early days.

Re: Brass Bridges

bobbyvee you are correct - BIZARRE GUITAR RENO, It's been a while since I sold my Star Bizarre Guitar (years ago) - I knew it was in Nevada though [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
