Hi all,
Does anyone know what the radii of the bridge and neck are for a Hurricane? Also, is there an aftermarket (read: something I won't feel bad about attacking with a file) bridge that'll fit without modding the guitar? I don't care if I have to do a little creative beating/pounding/whittling/milling/whatever on the replacement bridge.

I've got a Hurricane and I'm not a real fan of having the bridge with a flatter radius than the neck. If anything, I'm just as happy with the bridge and neck both flat, all I do is finger style. Whatever I come up with I don't want to permanently modify the guitar in any way.

Thanks much

The critical distance would be the space between the posts to see what after market saddles might fit.

I may even have a spare that I could measure.

www.stewmac.com has some measurements to look over.
