Your cart is empty.This is the classic Selmer style bridge found on most Gypsy Jazz guitars. It is hand-crafted from genuine high quality ebony and the underside is hollowed for light weight-just like the 1930's Original Bridge.

I've got no complaints about this bridge. I've had it for quite a while and it always plays and sounds great. It was easy to set up and was better than the original bridge.

Good quality. Fair price. If you need a bridge for your Selmer style Manouche/Gypsy Jazz guitar, look no further.

Impossibile da trovare in Italia, arrivato nei tempi previsti, risponde esattamente alle caratteristiche, fatta eccezione per una differenza di lunghezza in eccesso di circa mezzo millimetro per la quale ho dovuto lavorarlo con la carta fine per alloggiarlo esattamente sulla chitarra. Ma niente di grave, fa perfettamente il suo dovere.

This bridge is compensated in a linear graduated fashion but does not properly compensate for the B and G strings. The B string intonation is sharp at or around fret twelve. A problem when playing octaves because the B string goes sharp compared to the D string as you play up around the twelfth fret. Maybe great if you're into creating microtonal music variants.Not sure what variety of ebony this bridge is made with, as it is a lighter, less dense bridge than that of the my original del arte style compensated ebony bridge.This Golden Gate bridge has a more covered woody tone like that of a rosewood variety. Ultimately, the tone imparted from this bridge was not as resonant/bell-like as compared to my original bridge so I did not use it. I was hoping for a little more bass response. By the way, this bridge is hollowed on its underside and I did rework the base/footing of the bridge for optimal energy transfer to the guitar's radiused top plate.

For $20, it seems to me that Golden Gate has produced what appears to be an excellent, solid ebony guitar bridge (meant for gypsy jazz guitars) that compares favorably with the highly rated $80 Dupont bridges. It is not only hollowed out underneath, like the Dupont bridges, to reduce weight and its footprint on the guitar, but has compensated saddles which the Dupont doesn't have that can favor more accurate intonation.I would be hard pressed to understand what about the Duponts make them "superior" and worth 4X he price according to many players' opinions, but I also know enough to know that sometimes there is some truth to things when a large number of people feel that way. So I don't pretend to advise anyone on that choice.Anyway, I bought this to replace the bridge on a relatively low-priced Gitane guitar. I suppose guitarist' folklore would persuade me to buy a Dupont for my higher end GJ guitar if it needed replacement, but I'd always wonder why and I'm happy with the choice for that Gitane, which is a secondary guitar to me.
