I used to have one...came from dog knows where. Never used it and sold it in a parts bin a few years ago.

Probably the most widely used Charvel brass hartail bridge ala Jake E. Lee.







I'm not aware if anyone is making them. Mighty Mite is still in business, but does not make the vintage versions. Schecter and DiMarzio seem to not make bridges anymore. I think there was another company, Stars Guitars? Possibly, the guy that makes the NOS vintage trem bridges may or can make them. I forget the guy's name now.
Best place to go would be eBay.

The thought crossed my mind when I was in manufacturing back in 2003 about having them made. A CNC program could mill these out of brass plate in no time. I don't think the demand for them has not been all that great, otherwise someone would be making them. They are truely a piece of artwork with the ball mill indentations in the bottom plate for "guides" for the saddle height adjustment screws. The only manual labor would be the polishing and clearcoating/(powdercoating for colors).

I would love to put brass hardware on my project, but I would want the tuners to match. I wonder if anyone makes brass tuners?

Gold plated tuners is about as close as you can get. It's just difficult to keep the oxidation from tarnishing brass. The clear coat helps, but chips overtime. The gold plated hardware does not look bad. It looks like clear coated brass in a way.

Oh yeah, I remember. I had just joined back then. The thread just died off and heard nothing after that. Any progress reports Kev?
