Hi everyone. This is my first post so I'll introduce myself here briefly.
I run a small independent guitar repair workshop in the NW England, UK.
I realise I'm resurrecting an old thread here:
Recently a customer brought in a guitar in for a set up and I notice the bridge was sitting really high above the body.
The tremolo unit is 'The Point Classic'.
The point retention bar cast zinc and has warped.
I contacted Burns who told me the steel version will set me back £74 (roughly $100 US). I am still in shock 3 days later!
Does anyone know how I can get one at a reasonable price? After all, it's a steel bar, 71x6x11mm with 7 holes in it. I could make one for less than £74, but I'm think this should be a £5 part from Burns.
