Welcome Brian1, Our webmaster Johns replaced the bridge by a JSM100 bridge, because he couldn't find the original one for the 1980 version, which is the ST bridge if I remember it well. It is considered to be a needle in the haystack. Looking at that technically advanced bridge, I found it 1) too expensive 2) too modern looking. So I thought, didn't I buy that GTR tune-o-matic some years ago for much less? I took a peek underneath that bridge and guess what: MADE BY GOTOH, the same company that makes all hardware for the guitar manufacturers of the town of Matsumoto in Nagano, including Fuji Gen Gakki. So, by googleing on Gotoh and tune-o-matic I found chrome and gold plated bridges for less than $35.- Johns even found gold ones for $27.95 I think he can give you good advice on this one, for instance whether the dimensions are the same, so that you don't buy a bridge that doesn't fit. Mr Roadstar wrote that Grover makes tuners that fit exactly, without drilling one extra hole. But then the shape is going to be different. Ginger |
