Wow! This is exciting to me because it takes some of the mystery out of getting the bridge located accurately and offers a way to hear it before gluing and clamping.

I wonder how many people use either of these?
Curious.

It's really expensive. You can use toothpicks as a temporary saddle and lightly CA them onto the bridge to help you determine if the position is right. You can also make your own clamp on tailpiece as well.
