Anyone know where I can get a 4 string toploading mandocaster type bridge? I bought
this a few weeks ago and the intonation is shite so I need a new bridge... I've got a toploading telecaster bridge that I could butcher but I'd like to take the easy option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

They have them here.

I've also seen them on ebay from the seller "bezdez". Try searching for
cigar box guitar bridge on ebay as well.

cheers...
Worked out the problem - when they installed the peizo they didn't shave the bridge down so the action was high, took the peizo out as it wasn't very good any way - lower action sorted the intonation problem and made it easier to play
Might still get a new bridge as it'd look the business
