tvguit Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It *could* be. I've seen that one before. It might be what is commonly called "bean wood." I'm not sure what type of wood that is but Gibson used it in the 40s when substituting for Rosewood. One piece might have made it into a bridge and may have made it into a pile to be used for a bridge. Either way, it's ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 My vote is no not original bridge. Same with finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is freakishly clean but you can't judge by that standard. If you did then you might pass over real ones like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
