12-Saddle Bridges

Post by Folkie »

Chris Clayton at Pick of the Ricks has politely responded to my request for information about the 12-saddle bridge. But they are charging $125 plus shipping which comes out to almost twice as much as the $80.00 I thought they sold for. The Rick Boutique should have more bridges when they reopen for 2010 (whenever that is). Is there any way to get an authentic Rick 12-saddle bridge for a more reasonable price?

$125 is list price on a 12 saddle bridge and the price at the RIC boutique. http://www.rickenbacker.com/cart.asp?vi ... ry=Bridges I find I usually get better pricing through my local dealer.

I got mine for $100 about 5 years ago. While it helps, it still doesn't correct the intonation issue completely.

A full, proper setup with correct string gauges will go a long way towards achieving intonation.
