Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500M: Source for Nut & Saddle?
Howdy. I lucked into an AJ-500ME on CL over the weekend for a ridiculous price. It's a little scuffed-up and is missing the nut, saddle and pins.
Does anyone know where would be a good source for bone replacement parts for this guitar? I assume the factory (which I haven't called yet) would be overpriced. Does Bob Colosi carry these? Thanks, Charmed Life |

If you have the capability of providing fairly accurate measurements, i'd bet Bob Collosi could provide what you want.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acces...%20nut&index=7 These are examples from the MusiciansFriend website. I don't know if they would fit your guitar. Is it odd that the nut, saddle and pins would be missing from your guitar? |

Dan, thanks, my friend. If I end up flipping the guitar, which is most likely (I already own one with a great B-Band pu in it), I think Bob's prices are more than I'm willing to spend. Something to consider for sure, though, since I know his materials are topnotch. Best, CL |

Why not take it to a local luthier/repair person and have them make one for the guitar?

BTW, does anyone know the quality of the built-in factory pickup on this guitar? How does it sound? In general, I have not been impressed with factory rigs. Thanks, CL |

If it has the eSonic dual source pu, I think they sound great. The mix between the magnetic pu at the end of the fretboard and the under-saddle pu is great.
Unfortunately they have a history of being unreliable. In my Masterbilt, the undersaddle pu has failed. Fortunately the magnetic pu sounds pretty good by itself... |
