I made the bridge/tail piece from a 2"x2" piece of aluminum angled stock and filed the edges round. After I drilled the countersunk holes for the screws, I polished up the face to a near-mirror finish. The individual saddles are taken from a 6-string bridge.

Where did you get the tail piece? I've been looking for that style.
Thanks David
