This Fox bridge clamp is from LMI. Does anyone have any experience with it to provide feedback?

My shopmade clamp is pretty much the same .. two bolts thru the two E string holes, plus a bolt/caul for the bridge wings.

You shouldnt need much clamping pressure .. the bridge/top joint should be tight with minimal finger pressure, and then the clamp adds a bit more, and its done.

Seen this a few years ago by Mr. Fox the jig man and made my own .Works like a charm and would not glue a bridge on any other way.

You might want to check with John Hall. I thought I read some where he had made a few of that type that were pretty nicly made. I'm not sure if he has any now.
