single saddled bridges

Post by cur »

Just got my email advertisement from Rondo. They have theses individual bridge saddles. Never seen them before and could see how they could be pretty cool to use on custom builds.

Looks like only string through. Could be cool for electric mandolin builds and stuff like that.

i was actually thinking of some crazier stuff like a buitar(bass meets guitar). 2 bass strings on a fretless neck that is a part of a fretted guitar neck. hard to explain. i tried it once by taking out all the frets passed the 13th fret and could get some cool sounds out of the lower strings, but that was about it.
