Does anyone out there have a bridge for my ten-string lap-steel project? Anything considered, but I've seen some with a pick-up cut-out, similar to a changer design. That would be preferable! Thanks in advance....

You could always just use a piece of stainless steel rod.

Thanks Gary, let me know.

And thanks Erv, good idea but I'd prefer a pro bridge for this particular project. Suggested string gauges for a ten-string E6TH option would be appreciated if you have a moment though!

Tony, please check you PMs regarding a bridge.

A good starting point to determine string gauges is John Ely's String Gauge Chart:

Good luck with your project!
