It is not cheap but you should probably get a bigsby!

I wonder if you could make a 12 string out of those dual-loading bridges... Maybe a warmoth neck or something... Veeeery interesting ideas

Possibly but from the ones Ive had the saddles would have to be notched to hold the strings. Both the through and rear holes are in line like :::::: not .'.'.'.'.'.'. This dude on that tele forum drilled the back holes offset and fit the goto 12 string saddles:

Then find the nicest pair of tits you can and tie 'em together in a knot.

Too bad this doesn't agree with your logic

that 12 string tele bridge is very cool.

The design of the thing is genious. Way better than what Ric was doing at the time. Intonation adjustments for each string and a set radius with master saddle height adjustment, plus all 12 string through the body. Winner winner...

to hold in place an offset string path however

I like the bridge but agree with Shad in terms of the fudge job on the second strings
