bridge pins
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 9:32 pm
Hi folks! Long time no see!... but I have a question.
I'm about to finish up a restoration of a CF Martin Foden Special guitar. It is one of few ever made and the only one I have seen. It had a very rough homemade bridge on it when it came to my shop so I had to make a replica bridge as near as I could from internet photos mostly. The original apparently had ivory bridge pins with large abalone dots. I will probably use bone pins rather than some sort of legal ivory, and I'm trying to find a source for custom... or not... bone bridge pins with no flute, and preferably already inlaid with approximately 4mm abalone dots. I'm thinking fairly small diameter pins because I can adjust the pin holes to fit (new bridge).
Any help will be appreciated.
