Tonepros Tun-o-matic 7-string bridge?

[GuitarMaestro]

Hi!

I like Tonepros Tune-o-matic bridges very much and would like to use one for my next 7-string project. Unfortunately I cannot find a supplier who sells a 7-string version. I am not sure if there is one at all, but I cannot imagine that a well known company like Tonepros does not sell a 7-string version of their popular bridge. Can you recommend a store selling them?

Thanks in advance,

Marcel Knapp!

i know there's a immitation model, so there probably is a real one, just hunt a bit harder on google

I dont think tone pros makes the 7 string version. All parts sells the Gotoh 7 string T O M. It's easy to make a standard T.O.M into locking, you drill and tap a hole on each end and put a set screw in the bridge to lock it to the stud

Thanks for your anwers. One question: Are there TOM bridged which are flat enough for using them without a neck angle? If not I'll simply recess the bridge.

[westhemann]

toms are all high enough to need recessing or a neck angle

but these don't need an angle

Thanks for the hint Wes. Definately a nice looking bridge. I really want to use a TOM for this guitar, because it is the only non-tremolo bridge I really like. I plan the 7-string guitar for riffing and palm muted stuff and runs(A sound going in the direction of the new Dream Theater Album). Therefore I dont want a Tremolo which always takes away a little "meat" from the sound and isn't as comfortable for palm muted stuff. The fixed bridges like this Carvin bridge will all feel the same as a usual Trem. If I dont have the feel of the TOM, then I'll rather go with a real Floyd. Is there another bridge I dont know about which feels like a TOM and does not need a neck angle?

[westhemann]

not that i know of....this is how i recessed my t.o.m.

Thank you very much for the cool pictures Wes. That guitar looks really cool!

And the recess looks very elegant too. I'll do something similar but without a endpiece. I want to the strings to go through the body.
