kcoyner Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'm looking at doing a kit build J-45. I would like very much to keep it like the early 40's models with the rectangular bridges. Does anyone know where I could source one made of Brazilian or Madagascar Rosewood? THANKS! k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I buy a chunk of Braz on Ebay and have my luthier copy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to go with Brazilian or Mad rose for bridge and fretboard. I would prefer Brazilian but either one would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I saw Braz fingerboard slabs where I got my bridge blocks. I’ll try and send you his link when I’m home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I have these bridges that are supposed to be NOS LG's from the 50's. If interested, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
