Brazoo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi Everyone - I'm new here! I assumed this would be a somewhat easy issue to fix but I can't find an answer online anywhere. I have a Gibson L6-S guitar with a Schaller Wide travel tune-o-matic bridge (aka ”harmonica bridge”) and it's missing one of the bolts and the end cap that adjusts the saddle. Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I don't want to buy a whole bridge just for the one thing, but it seems like there aren't a ton of options. I'm missing something, right? Maybe someone knows the specs and I can get one machined? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazoo Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 No luck so far, so I'm hoping this pic might help identify the intonation screw and nut I'm looking for. Even the specs or part name or original part number would maybe help me find a replacement? Please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I think as you say there aren't many options. Have you tried contacting Schaller? I know it's a pretty long shot but perhaps worth a try. https://schaller.info/en/contact https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/gibson/parts/wide-travel-tune-o-matic.php https://reverb.com/item/36306217-schaller-wide-travel-tune-o-matic-bridge-1980-chrome Good luck!

Thanks for answering jdgm! As a matter of fact I did email Schaller a couple of days ago and the owner, Dr. Lars Bünning, answered me himself! They don't have any record of the screws or anything. I've ordered a thread gauge and digital calipers so I can figure out what screws and nuts these are myself. Once I have the dimensions I'll post that info here for other people to reference in case anyone else needs this info. Hopefully I'll also be able to use the info for finding a replacements, if they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
