I've heard that electra paul copies had a werid string spacing, if this is true could someone recommend a replacement bridge for my x230?
EDIT: what are the measurements for the machine heads and the string spacing of the bridge?

A standard Gotoh bridge fit my Workingman X290 just fine. If the string spacing is different you may be able to get a standard metric bridge with un-nothched saddles and have that work by notching the sadles with the spacing you want.

If you are trying for a direct replacement (i.e. no new screw holes) a picture would help. Also stewmac has digrams with dimensions for most of the tuners they sell. I think yours will have a standard (not vintage) 10mm post hole.
