Asomodai Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hey people, i was wondering before orderinga warmoth body. That is there any place new on the net where i can buy a washburn wonderbar bridge? I need to know before ordering because with the wonderbar, it doesant need any routingat all to install. So i need to know if its possible to get one before ordering. Also is there a 7 string version anywhere? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 looks like a kahler knockoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i would preferably buy it brand new from a place other then ebay, I have no respect or trust for ebayers. sorry lol.... well ok im considering it because they seem quite hard to find, is there any questions i should ask the buyer? about the trem like what necks would it be compatable with etc? sorry i have no expereince with tremolos at all!

9of7 X 3of2 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 .....I have no respect or trust for ebayers. sorry lol.... Thats a little harsh, dontcha think?? I've done a lot of buisiness on ebay, both buying and selling. I've never been burned, and have never burned anyone. Its too bad you feel that way, becouse you can get some really good deals on ebay, especially for guitars and parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 The Wonderbar was a true flat-mount trem, and was bigger, bulkier and heavier than any Kahler. It had a torsion bar instead of springs and a few other unique features. I never used one, but i knew a guy who had one on an old Lado that he had customized. Since they're not being made any more, i'd be hesitant to install one, just because of scarcity of parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindell Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I know of a guitar store that has one, new in box, from about 1987 or so. Never been sold, and I don't even think it has been out of the box. I believe the owner of the store wants to sell it for what the going price was, which is around $300. That might be why it is still unsold. He also has a few Kahler's, also new in box, never sold or touched. If you want the phone number, send me an email The same music store also has a Washburn Ace Frehley signature guitar, like a funky v meets explorer, also brand new, never been sold.

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Will they reto fit on a gibson with no modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Looking at a sellers feedback rating is always a good idea, you can tell a lot about them that way. As far as questions go, ask anything that isn't already covered in the listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Will they reto fit on a gibson with no modifications? I'm not sure if you could put a Wonderbar on a Gibson or not. I'd say on a flat-top you probably wouldn't have a problem. But on anything with a carved top, the neck angle/string height and the body dropping away behind the bridge might be a problem.

Asomodai Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Ok they guy on ebay has a gold wonderbar that i really want. Thing its a gibson type spacing one.
