Bridges

[Irving]

I am looking for places to source inexpensive good quality bridges. This website is probably the cheapest I have ever seen:

http://azguitarparts.com/bridges.html

Anyone ever purchased from there? I am looking at the compensated wraparound bridge in particular which is just $11.00, which seems outrageously low.

It looks as though it is identical to this: http://www.amazon.com/AROUND-BRIDGE-TAILPIECE-PLAIN-COMPENSATED/dp/B0039BUK5M/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1339890961&sr=1-2&keywords=wraparound+bridge

Any experience with these bridges, or with purchasing any hardware from there?

Ok, I'm not really answering your questions but personally I much prefer the more expensive aluminum wraparound bridges and ideally nickel plated. I just reckon the aluminium sounds much better on LP Juniors and gives you a much more "open" sound. I know, very subjective and YMMV etc. All the best whatever you go with.

I've bought plenty of stuff from AZ including that wrap around compensated bridge. It's a great bridge, sounds awesome, same as the one on Amazon, just cheaper. They are all coming out of the same place in China, I have also bought them from ebay seller bezdez.

I have bought stuff from them and had no problems. I buy Wilkinson Tele bridges from them.

I haven't bought those tuners, but Wilkinson is usually good stuff.

Anyone know if they do overseas orders?

If uou mean AZGuitaParts, this is from his website:

I prefer to ship USPS, its just easier and faster. I do offer international shipping, but PLEASE contact me BEFORE you order for a quote. I ship next day after payment is received and in some cases that same day on orders received before noon. I ship each order with delivery confirmation for your convenience. USPS doesn't have a user accessible tracking system like UPS so tracking info isn't available. If you haven't received your package 7 full working days after you have paid, feel free to contact me and I'll look into it.

Bezdez is about the cheapest you'll find, his parts ship from Canada so theres a 5-6 day wait for us stateside people. The only cheaper option I've found are the E-bay sellers who ship direct from China, and thats a 2 or 3 week wait. Might be less of a wait for you though, given you're closer to China than Canada.
