These quality bridges are the right style and size for archtop mandolins including Gibson 'A-Style' and 'F-Style' models. They are ideal for a new instrument or for a replacement during repair. Using a readymade bridge saves a lot of time compared to making a bridge from a blank. - Gibson style - Ebony with light satin lacquer - Nickel thumbwheel adjusters - 109mm (4-3/8"") x 9mm (3/8") - Height adjustable 24mm - 29mm (15/16" - 1-1/8") - Two-piece - Compensated, unslotted saddle piece
Archtop mandolins have a 'floating' bridge. The bridge isn't glued and is only held in place by the tension of the strings.

The base of the bridge sometimes needs to be shaped to better fit the top of the mandolin. This can be done with sandpaper or a file.

The saddle piece should be slotted to fit the strings. The best tool for this is Nut Files, however other tools like saws and files can be utilised.
