Awesome! Good job...now if only I could find a quick and easy way to make a bridge that you can adjust the height.

I reckon height adjust as two shims ought to work. I'll sketch it up when I get to work, and give it a whirl later this week. Huntz

I like the bridge "sleds." It look like the height wouldn't be harder to adjust than on an acoustic guitar.

The wedges will make for a fine adjustment, but may be finicky. I reckon it would take more time to make the wedges than to sneak up on the setting by careful filing, a touch of epoxy if you go too far.

If you just want to swich between finger pickin' and slide, two different height slots would work.

Even better, two different height notches in the bone.
