Default Custom bridge supplier?

Hi, i'm redoing the bridge on a guitar, and the string spacing is completely outside of what is available pre-made.

So i'm hoping someone might have a recommendation for someone I could contact to have one made custom? I am getting a drill jig made so I would need bridge and saddle, no holes.

(yes I understand the normal issues of changing hole spacing, but it does not apply here, long story)

This might suit? Slotted but not drilled!

Hope that helps,
Clive.

my fault for not mentioning it, but i'm hoping to find a taylor style bridge.
but they even have it in ebony, so if I can't find a taylor style, I might go with the martin bridge.

I never noticed Taylor style bridges for sale (I never looked for them either).

If Martin style works, LMII sells them undrilled and unslotted.

for a while antonio tsai used to offer them on ebay, not sure where else I might have seen them. but I don't mind paying extra to get one made for me.

This wound up working. He's got one he's setup to run that is close enough for rock and roll. And he can do custom string spacing, which saves me a big headache.
