I have been looking around for a 4 string hard tail bridge that is NOT for a bass guitar. I wanted something, preferably in gold, that I could use for a 4 string CBG with a standard 1x2 neck. So, the string spacing has to be such that I can fit all 4 strings onto the neck.
I found some individual bass bridges, but I can't really fit them side by side without them being too wide.
I suppose I could make a tapered neck so they fit, but I was kind of hoping to stumble across a 4 string bridge where the low string to high string distance was in the 30mm range.
Does anybody know if such an animal exists?

You can get a fender type hardtail bridge in gold and bend a new base from brass. I did this for my 3 string tele (except used chrome). Bend, drill and buff.
The other option is to cut a 6 string bridge down.
I purchased most off of Ebay from a seller in Canada who ships to the US. Cheap and shipping was reasonable. Takes about 10 days to arrive.
Here's an option I just thought of since we were talking about these the other night.
Get a bass trapeze type bridge that has nuts holding the bar on .... remove the bar and replace it with a wooden or metal that fits.
