Rare 3-String Beard Dobro cone & spider bridge

Paul Brainard · From: Portland OR

Actually if I look in the box I think I might have another bridge piece so you could probably use it for a 6-stringer as well. . . . ha!

I got this from Stew-Mac probably 20 years ago, tried it in my old Regal but the scale didn't match up (its bridge is offset from the center of the spider. . ) so back in the box it went. Includes gasket.

$100 shipped?

Update - I cannot find the other side of the bridge (or maybe it was one piece and actually broke in half, not sure) so you would need to cut a new one to use this. For six string, anyway. . .

Is the bridge saddle solid maple or ebony over maple? I have one half of an unslotted saddle I'll donate to your buyer.

Hey thanks Jerry! It looks like it is/was maple - no ebony cap. . . I think new this combo would be like $150 from Stew-Mac, and this one is basically new. . .

I have half of an unslotted ebony capped maple. Also the slotted bass side of a maple insert that was previously installed so may need shimming etc. My offer stands for either one.

It has been pointed out that since this is not stamped #14 it may be an import spider. I don't really know, I got them as a set so I have assumed both components are Beard but only the cone has that logo on it. Too long ago to find out for sure unless anyone knows how to tell. . . open to offers.
