A great catalog to order raw material and tools is McMaster-Carr Supply Co. P.O. Box 54960 Los Angeles, Calif. 90054-0960. They have the best catalog I have seen and are very helpful in finding supplies.

If you’re trying to make brass bridges for your Telecaster I would suggest using a “Free Cutting Brass”. It’s great for drilling and tapping. For making the vintage type rollers use a 5/16 inch rod. For the steel 1/4-inch rollers use the 1010 cold drawn steel. For Jazz and Precision Bass you can use 5/16 inch 1010 cold drawn too.

Please check your items carefully and confirm they are correct for color, position, etc. We are not able to accommodate order changes or cancellations once you have completed the check out process.
