      If you want an original bridge your best bet is to start watching eBay. Since the bridges of these guitars were held in place by the tension on the guitar strings only, there are a lot of people missing the bridge on their vintage Supro. If you find an original, be prepared to part with $100 to obtain it. High demand and low supply.

      good luck, I searched 2 years to find a replacement bridge for my Airline.
