"ive even used them as the actual bridge a few times. they work by picking up the vibration of the string so the more direct contact the better"

- Howdy Otis, I am glad to have you for a nation friend. I checked out the rest of your photos. Nice; the coffin guitars and especially the way you did the license plate. I am in a back water for cbgs here in rural Iowa. I suspect the same is true for you?
