Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone who uses a pinless bridge could make me one.
I built a guitar with the help of Harry Fleishman and his "Luthier School International" courses. A lot of the guitar design was created by asking myself, "I wonder what would happen if..." So this guitar, even though it's my first one, is kind of an "R&D" guitar.
I'd like to replace the current "pinned" bridge with a pinless one. The guitar currently has an ebony Martin-style pyramid bridge. I unfortunately don't have the tools at this point to make a pinless bridge myself.
I had something along the lines of a Martin tiple bridge in mind:
However, I'm open to any "standard design" anyone may have, or a modified design so that the design isn't close enough to someone's existing guitars. Feel free to reply to this post, or e-mail me at kahalenahele at gmail dot com. I don't currently have any pics of my guitar on the internet, but I can provide photos on request.
Thanks,
John
