I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have a trapezoid bridge plate in their parts drawer they would sell me?
Thanks.

| Ouch. A sheetmetal shop could weld it and have it re plated if you cant find one. |

It's the metal part that anchors the strings (they attach to it). The pickup is mounted on the plate. |

Now I've had a closer look I can see where it's parted.
Good luck!

| Thanks to everyone who replied. I just got a message from a mate of mine on the other side of the pond who has one and is sending it to me. I got some great suggestions and offers of help though from lots of people both here and on Facebook. The steel guitar community is the best! Thanks again. |

Well that's some good news. I gotta say your picture has me a little freaked out  . I'm inspecting mine for any signs of cracking!
Did something happen to yours? Is this common with these models?

Glenn.
It's not my guitar - I was asking for a friend but he isn't aware of anything that could have caused it other than a fall while it was in the case (unlikely to have caused it).
I did get a reply from someone in Facebook who had the exact same problem but I've never come across it before so I wouldn't say it's a common problem or a design fault.
