Acoustic Guitars/Bridge needed

Question
where can i purchase a  bridge for my alvarez yairi dy-62? It is a 1992 modle. s/n 38274

Answer
Hi Gary,

I want to get a little clarification here.

Some people confuse the saddle with the bridge.

Are you looking for something like the  4 or 5 inch long rectangular wooden piece with the holes where the strings go?

or

The thin white piece that sits in a slot that the strings lay on?

Expertise

I'm not a licensed appraiser so I WILL NOT answer questions having to do with giving values for instruments. Don't ask. I WILL NOT answer these types of questions. I CAN answer in the following categories regarding acoustic guitars: repair, maintenance, restoration, custom inlay work, Buzz Feiten Tuning System. I CANNOT answer questions having to do with values, original manufacture dates or history of vintage acoustic guitars. I AM NOT the Alvarez/Yari expert. Please ask the other "expert" here those questions. Please do not mark your questions "Private" as doing so limits helping others from benefiting from the answers. I will no longer answer questions marked "Private"!

Experience

I have owned my own guitar repair business for about 3 years. Also, I have built 2 guitars: an acoustic and a jazz bass.
