Originally there were plastic tangs that went through the mounting holes in the bridge and were then melted over. Not a major problem. I've replaced a couple of badly faded covers and used a small amount of silicone adhesive. AJ | ||

I believe it is the same width...just different spacing on the saddles... The screws allow for intonation adjustment and the one on the back is for height adjustment...(I think I'm right) BTW, did yours get here yet? if so: Pic's/report? lol... | ||

What a beaut! Other than the missing cover and one very small ding, it's near mint. Pics will have to wait until I can drop one of these crutches. Not quite there yet; although I did get to drive yesterday and to church this AM! YEAH... BTW, the flight/travel case must have a story of it's own. I'll have to take pics of it also. Mike (CL), I just need a cover. If we can verify the width, then I'd be more than glad to work something out with ya. Thanx! | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 3145 Location: Marlton, NJ | I didn't realize until looking at the various bridges that the plastic piece was the same for the 6 string (adjustable bridge pieces) and the 12 string (non-adjustable bridge pieces). Iffy - it'll go out tomorrow. I'll be out on the road today. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 5567 Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Iffy, the black plastic cover is the same for both: the actual bridge for the 12 is different from the 6 because the saddles have differing compensation for the 12 strings... | ||

Joined: August 2006 Posts: 3145 Location: Marlton, NJ | The 12 has fixed compensation while the 6 is adjustable. There are 12 holes in the plastic piece. For the 6 string, 6 of the holes are for strings while the other 6 are for the adjusting screws. On the 12, all 12 holes are for the strings since there are no adjusting screws. | ||
