Loki, that is a great idea but.................... I might sell one a year.

So many people want one-off custom stuff, which I CAN do, but are people willing to pay for it???????

The answer to that question is NO.

So here is what it boils down to;

The introductory pricing of 75.00 to MLP members is OVER. That batch of bridges is gone, finished.

I lost Gobs of money on everyone I sold. CNC costs are not cheap. Ironically not a single bridge was sold to an MLP member. ( So, no one has to feel guilty that I lost money 'cause of them )

I have a new batch made up.

Titanium runs 75 dollars a lb. It is difficult to machine. No one wants to pay 2 hundred some bucks for a bridge.

No Titanium will be offered unless someone wants to fork over dough.

No plating, if someone wants it plated they will have to find their own plater.

What is available is this;

Brushed Stainless 150.00
Polished Stainless 175.00

Brushed aluminum / with stainless saddles 150.00
Polished Aluminum / with stainless saddles 175.00

These prices are in USD Plus shipping. MLP members will get a 10% discount .

The ABR 1 version is still underway, but I have my guy swamped with other projects for my shop.
