Need help finding AX7221 parts

[noodlesatf]

I've been to WD, Warmoth, Allparts, and StewMac (so far), but no one seems to make a replacement bridge that will fit. Anyone know where I can find something that will fit this in black? I don't mind drilling different mounting holes, but it would have to fit the same dimensions.

Don't know if it would fit, but:

I just bought an 8 string bridge from them and it's nice.

Hipshot makes great stuff. Unfortunately, the bridge on the AX7221 is 3.5" x 2". Really oversized.

I have an AX7221 and have noticed that the bridge routes doesn't match any aftermarket replacements that I've seen. I think you'd probably have better luck trying to find a place that does metal finishing and just have the original refinished.

I measured my AX7221 bridge and I don't think the Hipshot 7-string bridge is wide enough to cover the original screw holes. You could try the "SB_5100-003, 7-String Non-Tremolo Guitar Bridge, Black, Steel Saddles, 2-1/2" String Spacing" at http://www.allparts.com/categories.php?cat_id=403&cat_name=7%20&%2012%20ST RING%20BRIDGES. The string spacing is right and it looks like it might be wide enough, but I'd really contact them for more precise measurements before I'd order it.

Good luck.

Thanks guys. I was figuring I had to refinish myself, but it was worth a shot.
