After reading and watching videos about tuning for proper intonation, I wasn’t ready to bite the bullet for a hardtail bridge. I just don’t like the look on a cbg. No other reason. So I bought some 12mm dice, slotted the top of three of them, and used them as individual bridges for the three strings. So far it’s working out ok.

Very cool Bruce! I was thinking of doing something similar but with the dice standing up in the slot of a wood base so the string goes over the corner of the die.

Don't have a photo of mine , but was similar to this . I used 3 pieces of a ruler with center slot .
I've seen someone do this with wood. Each string having it's own piece. Worked great. Like the look of the dice.
Hi, that's serious compensation Bruce, do all strings intonate correctly? I like the look of it though.

Aye it would be. This is how it ended up.
Picture?

That would work with the smaller dice. I don’t recall the exact size, but there is at least one size smaller than the 12mm I used.
