Black bridge

But what I find interesting is that it has the same black bridge that Cliff has on his guitar. Those are the only two Ovatons I've ever seen with that. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2544979702&category=33029 seesquare Posted 2003-07-11 6:51 PM (#206851 - in reply to #206850) Subject: Re: Black bridge Joined: November 2002 Posts: 3666 Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire Really?! Maybe my color receptors need recalibration; looks pretty brown to me. I thought it looks pretty much like most other bridges. BTW, has Ovation ever used ebony bridges? alpep Posted 2003-07-11 7:11 PM (#206852 - in reply to #206850) Subject: Re: Black bridge Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10583 Location: NJ Paul are you talking about the pickup? how many black ones you need??>???

(See gallery) I had seen Cliffs black pickup and asked Kim since I needed mine replaced could he find a black one laying around. He said no problem. Now that I have it back I kind of like the looks of it. The big advantage is as the white ones get old they turn a little yellow and dirt and dust and crud get down in the cracks and look like hell. I think the black ones will stay newer looking longer.

Since then it's been available. Since 2000(not really sure of the exact start) they have used ebony bridges.
