Oh!   Good idea, Keith.

With the height of the bridge, and being two strings, looks like you could play it like a violin. Cool build.

 Sweeeet...

This build has a whole lot of vintage charm about it Dave.  Cracking bridge!... I could enjoy walking over or under it... if I were a lot smaller.

I like the look and lines of this one., i really enjoy your bridges., looks like they were shaped with a belt sander,.. that old wood sure is nice,.

AGP, sounds like a fun build. I’ve not tryed a double necker.

Comment by Dave Lynas on December 23, 2020 at 12:23am

Thanks T-Gripped. It’s become my favorite bridge. It has big feet for wide stance. Easy to form on my belt sander. I like soft woods like pine or cedar

Unc. I’m not sure what tuning yet. I just tuned it up till it sounded good with the radio. I think CG.

Yup.  Fine looking bridge and build.  I am curious about what tuning.
