Roman,
What's the advantage of the spring loaded thumbwheels?

It is that little bit of extra, overkill, if you will. it just keeps everything nice and tight.

Thanks for the kind words and the youtube video also. WOW, My stuff is on Youtube now.

I cant wait to see the guitar it is going on.

As to my bridge design, it is a simple, built like a tank, bridge that is indestructible.

I came up with the design after years of replacing Nashville TOMs that had rotted or collapsed in the center. It always bugged me to replace it with another bridge that over time would do the same thing.

With the way some folks baby their guitars, the nashville will last for quite some time, but in the real world of gigging I have seen them deteriorate fast.

So, I came up with one that would be able to take any abuse given to it and still come out rocking.

You'll see it, my friend. Now I'm waiting for Will's pickups to arrive to send the parts and get the guitar project going!
