My guitar is making vibrations with the neck and sounds horrible because the strings are too loose on drop tunings?
If the strings are hitting the frets and making noise that means that either your action is too low on the instrument or the tension of the strings might be too low. The easiest thing to do would be to try another set of strings with the higher tension. If that does not help, you have to take your guitar to a repair shop and they can adjust the action (easier done for electric than for classical guitars).

Where can you buy a bridge for a Hondo 12 string guitar Model H-124-12B-HM?
I don't know for sure if they'd have it, but my son who plays guitar really likes Musician's Friend. He gets their catalog and they have a website at http://www.musiciansfriend.com/. ==New Answer== Just to clarify... the bridge saddle is the (usually) white piece of plastic or bone upon which the strings rest. The bridge is the piece which is generally glued to the guitar top. If it's truly the bridge, take the instrument to any quality luthier. If it's just the saddle, you can purchase one from any guitar store. You may have to trim it somewhat to fit. It should fit snuggly, but without forcing it. If it's not properly cut for the strings to rest, again, take it to a luthier (instrument repair person). Frank Gregg
Which way do you turn the truss rod in a guitar to lower the strings?
NEVER adjust the truss rod in order to lower the strings. The majority of string height adjustment is done at the bridge on either the bridge posts or individual saddles depending on your guitar. The truss rod is only there to correct any humping or bowing in the neck, if you tighten it then the strings will appear to lower but that's only because you're bending your guitars neck back! This will render your guitar pretty much unplayable until it's sorted so if you're not completely confident you know what you're doing then it's best to just leave any truss rod adjustment well alone. If you value your guitar then seek the advice of a qualified or experienced luthier or repair guy.
