Members genesis3 Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've lost the bridge to my Yamaha classical that I had taken apart to jerry rig the electronics....what are my options for finding a replacement or one precisely and exactly like it? I think it's an APX-6NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman_Keller Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Are you talking about the bridge which is the wood (ebony or rosewood) part or the saddle which is the bone, plastic or possibly ivory insert? A bridge should be glued on, if you've lost that a good luthier can make you a new one. If it is the saddle that is much easier - again, any good luthier can make one or you can order one from a number of sources and do the final fit yourself. According to Yamaha's site, the APX-6NA came with a bridge mounted piezo pup - not sure why you were trying to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genesis3 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 DOH...of course, I meant the SADDLE...dunno what I was thinking, NOT the bridge the saddle....I took out a fishman inline preamp that was an aftermarket install someone had put in....It went straight from the jack to the battery and to the pickup bypassing the onboard controls, which I want to be able to use...The under the saddle pickup went with it, so I thought I'd try to rig up a piezo and rewire the control panel part back into it....Thanks for the saddle info, I'll see what I can come up with...
