Two-Piece Bridge: 6-String?

Anybody know if these exist outside of Warwick? I'd actually prefer something similar to Ritter's design, with individual tailpieces, but I figure that's a stretch.

Ritter's Bridge

Won't be cheap, but they exist.

Sweet. How'd you come across them? Also, anybody got pricing information on that?

I was looking for headless hardware.

They have a catalogue. You'll need to email them for it i think. Mine's out of date.

And if you want the ritter style bridge i think you can get really close with a combination of the ETS bridge and string ferrules from stewmac.

I know alembic makes and offers two piece bridges on all of their builds, including 6 strings...

I was thinking about doing that exactly. The problem is, the ferrules would require modification to accurately replicate Ritter's top-load tailpiece thing. However, going through body would still look equally as cool. Thank, y'all. I'll have to hit up ETS.
