Sign in to disble this ad
Just curious if any one knows. Every supplier I go to for a Bad Ass II 4 string chrome bridge is sold out and has been for months. Let alone the ones with slotted saddles. I even went to the Leo Quan website and emailed multiple times directly and never get a reply. Are they going belly up? Anybody hear anything?

Mighty Mite and WD started putting out a few Leo Quan knock offs for guitar that are pretty OK. Hopefully they will somehow get the bass bridges rolling too. |

I wouldn't be suprised if he's just been overloaded by Fender's orders... With they way they've been having to crank out Highway Ones & Geddys (I don't think the SH Sig has been too much of burden), they've probably been turning over all of the BAII stock to Fender as soon as it gets cranked out. He's probably backordered all to heck.

Wasn't that mentioned in another thread last month or so?
Sure would explain why nobody's answering the phone . . .
