Bridge Blog 2
Today with great confidence I’d like to introduce and recommend Michael of Armadillo Guitars.  www.armadilloguitar.com.  Michael specializes in custom knobs and parts for Telecaster but is willing to fabricate that special something. That’s just what we needed. Man, let me tell you this guy has gone over the top for me. We were very specific in our requirements, but and in short order realized what we wanted, quite simply did not exist. Perfect. What we required was a vintage bridge with 4 mounting holes, set up to take compensated barrel saddles but without the classic ash-tray lip.  Michael solved all our problems.  He said I don’t have anything like that now but I’ll make one. Not only did he make one but improved on the design lending his own custom touch to make this a truly one of a kind piece. This guy is “The Man”!  Great communication and a pleasure to interface with.  Not only do I think we have added an outstanding resource to our company, but have made a new friend in the process. I couldn’t be happier. I’ll slip more info later as to why we were so specific with our bridge requirements. Here’s a sneak peak of our new milled brass bridge before finish & plating.  What a beast. Wait until you see what we do to it next. Joe @ OTF
