The bridge is one of the most important "braces" on the entire guitar, so it's important to make sure the quality of your bridge stock is absolutely top notch! Ebony has been a traditional material for steel string guitars. Sized to eliminate waste, our ebony bridge blanks has been kiln dried and is stable and ready for use once it's been acclimated to your shop's environment. Though somewhat difficult to machine, quality ebony is worth the reward.

Gaboon Ebony (Diospyros spp.) heartwood is usually jet black with little or no variation or visible grain. Occasionally dark brown or grayish-brown streaks may be present.
