wood Archtop bridges - compensated for plain G

[valcotone]

hi fellas, My '60 CE-100DP Capri needs a new bridge and I can't seem to find a source for an all-wood bridge compensated for a plain G... they all seem set up for a wound G, like this one:

Any leads?

Here's all I could find. Kinda weird-looking and expensive, but it's intonated for plain and it's wood...

Thanks AlohaJoe and kakerlak! That looks great. Have you tried one?

I haven't (I use a wound G), but I remembered stumbling across it the other day when I was drooling over Sadowsky's new SS15. It looks like it would work on any archtop bridge if the post spacing is right. It is a little pricey. The other option would be to have one made by a competent luthier if you have one nearby.
