I've got one of these on one of my lap steels and I really like it.

Thanks for pointing those out, Ron. I could see where someone could really improve the tone of their guitar with one of these bridges.

| I've used his brass/stainless ones on two WoodPans and am having two more made right now. Good stuff from Ryan R. |

Custom metal work is always pricey. That being said, I don't think $60 is out of line. Might be a good option for my Goldtone!

| The quality of the design and work is well worth the price, I'd say. Plus, the string holes are perfectly positioned so you don't even 'need' grooves for the strings. And they look good. I hope to get at least one asap, been looking for something like these, thank god for my procrastinating ways! |

| $60 for a solid brass bridge, custom made by a lone guy in his shop...in the USA is pricey? I don't think so. Look what they want for a Tele bridge stamped out of sheet steel in a Chinese factory. I don't think Ryan's profit margin would impress anybody nearly as much as his work. |
