The guitar is great, and I'm very happy with it. But even after confirming that the guitar would come with both the tune-o-matic bridge and the rosewood bridge, it showed up with only the tune-o-matic. The seller was unable to provide the bridge after the sale. I've had two Ibanez dealers (one of which was Guitar Center) tell me they can't find a part number for the rosewood bridge for the AF105F NT. Can anyone offer any guidance on how I can find the proper rosewood bridge for my guitar?

Try copying and pasting this: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Ar chtop_guitar_bridges/Archtop_Guitar_Bridges.html   Talajuha Username: Talajuha Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 12, 2007 - 7:18 pm:    Hm, that is ???? You may try Hoshino Gakki Web Parts. I couldn't find wooden bridge for AF105(F), only for lower Artcore numbers and for GBnn etc . One of those "lower number" bridges may fit in??? https://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/Login 00.jsp Juha   Jdmcfadden Username: Jdmcfadden Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Saturday, May 12, 2007 - 7:42 pm:    Actually, I'm sure there are rosewood bridges on the market that may fit, but the AF105 has a considerable amount of rosewood in the design, including the tailpiece, much of it featuring inlay. That was the principle reason I was trying to find some way to get the bridge Ibanez specifically engineered for the guitar: To match the look of the instrument.   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Saturday, May 12, 2007 - 8:59 pm:    There is the 2TP1H04G and the 2TP1H04RG. But I read some dealers ask 350 euros for it. http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/16 /19727.html?1163690840 Stewmac asks $100.- for a Benedetto ebony tailpiece and $17 for a ebony blank, which you can carve yourself.
