I see 2 point tremolo...I'm thinking Sophia 2.22

Y’know. I’ve looked at those Sophias. They intrigue me. I like the idea.

You certainly make a very good suggestion.

But, I’ll tell ya...this stock bridge actually does pretty good. I can dive it and get pretty good pitch return.

For general vibrato use, it’s worry-free.

You’ll also notice it has the smooth, cast saddles - not the bent steel saddles. These cast saddles are VERY comfortable with palm-muting - even more comfortable than a tune-o-matic style bridge.

I find the protruding ends of the Allen height adjusters uncomfortable.

Exactly.

They are a problem on the bent steel saddles. But, they don’t protrude at all on the cast saddles.

Also, check out my saddle positions with how I have it intonated. You should recognize right away that it has a wound G string!

Alright, I'm tired of looking at myself. This is an iteration of my usual avatar. Mr. Boo

I'm surprised that it took me over two years to see this thread.








And, here's a shot of the entire guitar.

I tell you, I have been wanting to try a set of those roller Strat saddles...

He refuses to let me play.

Don's home is like a museum of the coolest things you could ever imagine - like a overhead lamp with a motorized Anheuser-Busch beer wagon, an 18th century piano with oil lantern holders, not to mention the guitars and a surgical garage. It's a magical place!!!!
