Need new or replacement bridge

Sign in to disble this ad
just picked up a mid 80's 5 string ibanez roadstar II series for $50 bucks.

Nice little bass sounds good, only issue is the saddle for the G-string appears to have been replaced with one from a different bridge. Easy to tell because its much wider than the other saddles and creates a bigger gap between the D and G strings. It will still play somewhat but the string is wayy to close to the fret board, and ive got the saddle cranked as high as it will allow.

anyone know where i could find a bridge for this guitar or a aftermarket replacement?

will try to get a pic of the bridge and guitar up soon.
