Has anyone seen this type of bridge set-up before? A combination of floating and fixed?
I've always wondered if it would be stable/practical/smart to have this kind of set-up.
Come to think of it, this should be easier to tune and configure since only 6 strings are floating, and the rest are fixed.
I had planned to have an custom 8 stringer made with this kind of set-up, but sadly it did not push through. Though the guitar maker that I talked to (shutterbugjohn) about the project showed a lot of interest in experimenting/trying to make something like this.
Your thoughts?
