Hello,
I need some help identifying a guitar bridge. I know this a bass forum, but I find the people on here to be super helpful and smart. And good-looking, I might add.
Properly buttered up?
Anyhoo, I bought a Peavey T-30 guitar, but it has an aftermarket bridge on it. Any ideas what it might be, or is there a bass bridge that looks similar? It's probably from the 80s, and is marked "Made in Germany, US Patent DBP." I included some links to pictures.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. http://www.flickr.com/photos/15386792@N02/3611858256/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/15386792@N02/3611045415/ |

It's either the Aria CSB-450, which I just sold, or the Guild, which I believe was a JS1 modified to be a JS2, with vintage DiMarzios. Technology boned me out of it--the woman sold it to someone else when she didn't receive my email. For 150 dollars. |

I know 'cuz I have one on one of my guitars, and mine is absolutely definitely 100% surely identical to your picture. And when I bought mine it came in a box that said "Schaller" |
