Thanks Bob. Does a 3 string bridge like this exist as a retail item? Have you got a link, please?

Nice work Denis, that should do the job. Not as stiff as steel would be, but should be sufficient for three strings!

My idea is to set the saddles to half way and use the measurement  from there to the nut to set the scale length. That will give me about 1/2 inch to play with. That worked for  a full six string CBG that I made the a similar commercial bridge.

I'm interested in this topic as I want to install one of these on my first CBG but I have no idea how to install and string. Is there a video lesson on this? Thanks!
