CB Gitty SC and 2 25mm piezos mounted underside of the bridge.
A 3 way (on-on-on) selects SC or
mix (middle) or the two piezos.
250K vol and tone control..still
working on a satisfactory tone cap
(current is 0.33uf) but sounds a bit
bassy, so I'm going to try a 0.22uf
next.

I made my own out of maple (banjo style) with a bone insert.  It was a lot prettier at first, but I had to cut down

the feet on the bridge to get the action down to where I wanted it.   I like a wooden bridge with a bone saddle.

but this is my preference, as I play a few of my spanish guitars that have wooden bridges with bone saddles.

although my electrics (3 handmade) have metal bridges Gibson style.

I will one day have to learn a bit more about the electrical side of this.  What have you used for a bridge?
