Acoustic bridge with 2 1/4" spacing needed
Hi everyone,
I am trying to restore a very old parlour guitar and need a bridge. The pin holes on the spruce top are 2 1/4" spacing, if anyone knows of a place to buy without breaking the bank, or if anyone has one kicking around, I'd very much appreciate your help either way. I have checked online without any success so far. If I can't find one I might turn it into a gut guitar which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for any advice or help.

I usually take a chunk of ebony and make the bridge i need, then it can be correct for the instrument i am working on. More work, but cheaper and correct.

As Pops has indicated it not a matter of getting a bridge with 2.250 spacing and all is OK. There is a relationship between pin hole, saddle slot and footprint locations. Custom made would also be my route.

Thank you all for your replies, I would have loved to make my own but I have no tools to do that so I took a chance on buying one at the link that Ben-Had posted. I might run into problems, but will soon find out, if it doesn't work distance wise where the saddle lines up, I may still end up using a gut bridge and turn it into classical.
Thank you all, again,
