Default Where can I find a Hummingbird style bridge?1

Getting frustrating looking for a replacement bridge for a hummingbird copy. Ideally I'd like an adjustable bridge but I'd settle for a standard inverted non adjustable gibson style bridge. Can't find them anywhere! You'd think gibson bridges would be as common as martin style for replacement, theres a few gibons out there...
Stewmac has nothing. Do I need to go through Gibson? I'm ok with the idea of not have an inverted one if I have to, but it will expose non finished top wood on this burst guitar.

Any help would be appreciated.

They are a pretty simple bridge to make.

Dont get caught up in the "Style" bridges

The "Martin" and "Gibson" style aftermarket bridges are exactly that, they are a "Stylized" bridge, they do not fit as a direct replacement for existing Martin and Gibson bridges only bridges purchased direct from the manufacturer are direct fits.

Get a local luthier to make one for you.
