Bridge on 380 and 650

Does anyone know the make and model of the bridges used on the 380L or the 650? I would like to buy a 380L (non-piezo) and then convert the hardware to chrome. I can't find a bridge to match the one used on the original. I assumed it was Schaller, but it's not. Is it proprietary?

It may be Schaller but if so specific for Rick. Go here: http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdf/gtailpiece.pdf

The 380 bridge was made from components produced by several suppliers, one of whom was ABM. The 650 is all ABM. Both are proprietary in that all the dimensions are custom to our models, as opposed to their standard product line.
