Frosting on the cake.....

Patrick made a comment about the rosewood bridge on my ebony board 575 Custom.

I had always intended to get an ebony bridge base but they are a little hard to

find with chrome rather than gold. I also wanted one that had a pretty low

profile. Found this one. It's actually a Gretsch part. The ad said ebonized rosewood but

it's not. In the fitting process I sanded enough to tell it is ebony for sure.

Got a nice tight fit. To my ears it sounds like the bottom is just a little tighter than

with the rosewood.

 

I think it does really finish it off with the ebony board, black rings, knobs, pickguard and bridge insert.

The thumbwheels are larger than most which is weird but it makes adjustments easier.

Perfect! Nice appointment, 'rat!

It Looks great with that bridge base. Really finishes it off nicely. Now, it looks even classier than before . . .if that's even possible. Anyway, I like it much better!!
