Okay so this is what I've come up with. The diagram may be hard to comprehend--Beats me I think I understand it. Basically its for a broomstick neck that I've been thinking about.  This drawing uses an eye bolt for a saddle with a stopper placed on the outside of the eye bolt.  I'd like to just use a small eye bolt but I can't find one that has a small enough inside diameter for the ball end of a guitar string that is rigid enough to hold the tensile strength.  The nut is composed of a U bolt that would fit secure around the broomstick held in place by "hardware" nuts and seated with a screw to keep it all in place, possibly two.  I'm probably gonna try it out and keep you all updated on how it works. But ultimately, I want to know if you think I'm wasting my time with this or not. Would it be easier to scrap the saddle idea and simply drill a hole through the stick for a string?  Also,  I'd like to know if two strings will hold in place on a 1 1/4" cylindrical neck e.g. Super Chikan's broomstick guitar.  Thoughts? Suggestions?
