    Obviously it's got no post holes drilled for an Tune-O-Matic bridge or stop tailpiece. The sloping rear means that I can't do the temporary trapeze tailpiece trick to get the TOM position just right, which is pointing me in favour of a different bridge style. Unfortunately the top is gently arched, so a flat-based more Fender hardtail-style bridge won't fit on unless I rout the top flat for it, which is easier said than done!

    Also the neck angle will probably mean that the bridge needs to be sat quite high unless that angle is altered. I shall do some testing and have a ponder.

    Single string bridge pieces might be the way. Now to find some budget-friendly ones!

    That's what sets me off on the lemming-like run to disaster.
    I'm sure a knowledgeable chap like thee will produce a winner!

    cheers, Mark.
