I've had a second hand Fender Kingston acoustic-electric for two years now. I know Fender isn't well regarded for their acoustics but I really like mine. Last night I was playing and I noticed the saddle fell out and hit the floor...and then noticed the strip of the bridge between the sound hole and saddle had broken clean off.
Doing a quick search I found this page: Guitar Parts Resource:: ACOUSTIC GUITAR BRIDGES which has the "Smiley Face" acoustic/electric bridge which looks very similar to mine. I think my guitar is either a "DG30SCE-NAT" or DG31SCE-NAT" Kingman from the mid to late 90's. I have attached a picture of the one I found online and my mine, plus mine with the broken piece back on the bridge. The site does not mention this bridge fitting a SCE and the Kingman bridge is does show is from a newer American model I believe and is very different. Does anyone have any experience with this and give me some advice? My local shop will install a new one if I can get one and if not they would have to make one and that will probably cost me quite a bit. Thanks.
