I'd like to cop an Alembic or Alembic-style guitar accordian bridge for a project of mine.  Anyone have one for sale or know where to find one?
 
Folks have told me before that they can be obtained directly from Alembic but I did not receive replies to prior emails (perhaps there is some better way to contact them that I'm unaware of).
 
Thanks much.  Jon S.

The best thing is to call Alembic on the phone.

What is a guitar accordion bridge?  It's a new one on me and google doesn't seem to turn up anything on it.
 
Bill, tgo

Look at the bridge on, e.g., a Tribute - that's an accordian bridge (it's simply what that style of bridge is called).

I'm very familiar with the standard Alembic bridge (which appears to be what you are referring to), but have never heard it called an accordion bridge before, nor can I find any reference to this term anywhere on the net.  
 
Bill, tgo

I've ordered two Alembic bridges for non-Alembic customs. It's my absolute favorite bridge. The folks in Santa Rosa have no problem selling them separately.

A rose by any other name would surely smell as sweet.  
 
Thanks, jale, I'll call Alembic now.

Just got off the phone with Mica at Alembic.  What a nice woman!  Got all the info. I need about ordering a bridge, including what to specify (Alembic is actually sending me a form to complete, assuming I go forward with the project) and the differences in design and cost between the standard bridge and Tribute concealed hardware bridge.  I appreciate the suggestions I got here and will even call them Alembic-style bridges henceforth.

DUH!!!  
 
It's called a HARMONICA bridge, not an accordian bridge.  Sorry, Bill!    
 
BTW, I never did receive the promised info. from Mica.  Too bad 'bout that.  But perhaps it was meant to be as this AllParts SG-style harmonica bridge will suit me fine at a fraction of the cost.

Harmonica bridge is a new one on me too.  At least I can sort of see how it looks somewhat like a harmonica - I couldn't see the accordion at all.  Hope the new bridge works out.  Sometimes Alembic needs a little reminder, they are quite busy.
 
Bill, tgo

That's called a Tune-o-matic bridge ;-)

Yes but Tune-O-Matic is to bridges what orders are to taxonomy.  I'm into bridge species with this thread, LOL!
 
Here is a more typical tuneomatic:

Here is a harmonica bridge:

And yes, unlike my former incorrect use of accordian, if you Google harmonica bridge, you'll get hits.

IS that anything like a harmonica lewinsky? hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

Harmonica Lewinski?  I guess that's just like a regular harmonica, except instead of you blowing it......
