  i think that it’s called the bridge block, lou. it says ‘JINAH’ on it, but i have no clue what that means.

  not really, glw. it has a whammy bar, so it needs at least a plate to cover the hole. i’ll try to post a picture soon, but can’t right now.

  Wouldn’t a tune-o-matic type bridge (as on a Les Paul) do the trick?
  
  How about a photo so we get a better idea of what’s needed?

  sorry 1bass. all i have is that it is a memphis, made in korea, and that it looks like a flat-top les paul double cut with one humbucker and two single coil pickups. i got it from a friend.

  Bob, the serial number isn’t all that helpful to us, I’m afraid. Do you have a model name, or can tell us if it’s a copy of one of the well-known designs?

  One of the reviewers said “I did a little research on the Memphis guitar Company, got several interesting stories about it’s inception, and demise. There isn’t anything about this guitar a good repair shop couldn’t take care of.”
