This is a black electric guitar-style hard-tail bridge, but made for 3-string cigar box guitars! It took us a long time to find a source for these, but now we got 'em!
These bridges are "top-loading" style, which means that the strings are fed through the back plate of the bridge, then up and over the saddles. No drilling through the instrument/box is required!

The dimensions of these bridges are 1 31/32" (50mm) wide, 1 5/8" (41mm) deep and about 9/16" (14mm) tall. Spacing between strings is 12mm (0.472", just under 1/2") with total distance from string 1 to string 3 being 24mm or 0.945" - just under 1 inch. Each one is mounted securely by four screws, and a small allen wrench is also included for adjusting the small set screws that control string action height. See the listing photo with measurements (in millimeters) for more size specs. Basically these get used like any bottom-loading electric guitar bridge (like those on telecasters and such). You screw it to the top of the instrument, and the strings come up through holes in the instrument body (usually with a ferrule of some sort on the back to hold the string ball), and then up and over the individual string saddles. The saddles can be adjusted by means of a screw at the back of the bridge to get the intonation just right, and small set screws at the front of each saddle let you set the string action height. Overall it is fairly straightforward.

Hard Tail Bridge

Works and looks great. Easy to install and adjust.

Black and shiny

I’ve purchased these hard tail bridges in chrome, gold, and now black. They are relatively easy to install and string height adjustments are a dream.

These always work

I've used these hardtails on over 100 builds. Never been disappointed. Two personal tips for newer builders: 1. I always use the wood shims from MGB (purchased separately) to get a little more height. That way the string height adjustment screws can be lower. 2. I always use my own screws to fasten the bridge down to the box. After having some of the included screws snap while tightening, even with a pilot hole, I don't trust them. Not MGB'S fault. The manufacturer provides, in my opinion, a cheaper, unreliable fastener. Your choice.
