Vintage 1960s Guild/Hagstrom Brazilian Rosewood Floating Bridge with Original Adjustable Saddle – Removed from a 1964 Guild Starfire III

Offered here is an original 1960s Guild floating bridge assembly removed from a 1964 Guild Starfire III. This bridge features its original nickel adjustable six-saddle bridge mounted on a beautiful Brazilian rosewood base, making it an exceptional piece for a vintage Guild restoration or period-correct replacement.

The Brazilian rosewood base displays gorgeous grain and rich color that only decades of age can produce. The original nickel hardware shows honest vintage patina consistent with its age, while all six saddles adjust properly for precise intonation. The thumbwheels turn as they should, allowing for smooth action adjustment.

This style of floating bridge was used on numerous Guild hollowbody and semi-hollow models throughout the 1960s, including the Starfire III, Starfire IV, Starfire V, X-175, CE-100, T-100, and other Guild archtops equipped with floating bridges. This same bridge design was also used on a number of vintage Hagström guitars during the 1960s, making it a desirable period-correct replacement for restorations of both Guild and Hagström instruments. As always, please verify compatibility with your specific guitar before purchasing.

Original vintage Guild hardware is becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially complete examples featuring the desirable Brazilian rosewood base. Whether you’re restoring a player’s guitar or a collector-grade instrument, this is a fantastic opportunity to source an authentic period-correct part.
