Toss them an email, they can do a 7-string steel bridge without a problem. Detail your tonal wishes, maybe aluminum is an even better choice in your case.
Mayones. Worth the $$$? Good QC?

I like steel bridges. I see they do polished stainless (look like chrome) and an aged finish. Can they do a black finish on steel bridge? I am looking at that Asian fit bridge with fat posts and bushings. I like the sustain and acoustic loudness of steel over the cast zinc stuff.
They can. But since they couldn't the finish in-house back then, they had to contract a different business to do that. That was the 50€ upcharge I mentioned earlier.

Mmmmmm....
A big fat black juicy steel bridge is awfully good sounding to me. I will contact ABM.

OK I'll take it...does it start with "Amfi..."?
I don't think I've ever been in the same state as an Amfisound.
I hear they did great work. It's a shame they folded/stopped building. The few users here with them seem to love them to pieces.
I’d say the sample size in those cases are inconclusive.
I was mainly talking about the more mainstream brands originally.
Huber stuff is still fairly uncommon in the US other than a small handful of boutiques, and KL stuff that's been bounced around a lot isn't a great measure. There are probably more KL copies than actual guitars built by Ken.

Q.E.D. you have never seen one of them with a flaw then
On my end would be Anderson and Aristides but I will say the sample size is small on the latter.
Have never seen a Mayo with an issue either...but I guess that's because I've never owned a Mayo
My 2 cents, I passed on several Mayo for a Schecter Custom Shop.
Regius, Browne model, and a masterbuilt multiscale Regius.
Went with a Schecter Sunset 7 Custom. They’re quite cheap for what they are used and they are incredible guitars.

BUTTS LOL
I only have anecdotal evidence to back this up, but I'm pretty sure demand for Duvells was so high at first that they cut a lot of corners on those models to get them out the door fast enough. Or they had a different team building them or something- my point is I had Regiuses from the same period that were flawless, but tried four different Duvells and they all had significant build issues. Finally found a pristine one last year and bought it...and then they announced the model refresh two weeks later

Given there was the blackmachine teardown thread, I don't think they can qualify as never having had issues.

I have an OG Duvell non elite. Build wise its flawless love it rock solid attention to detail. Sadly im more of a singlecut guy I have learned. But its still a great guitar and I would only get rid of it to swap for a co singlcut.
