Default bridge plate

Dear Mark,

to my opinion it has been working for him, but if you keep an interested eye on the bridge, you will be able to see three parts, where a little hole is closed in a very impressing inconspicuous manner, hiding a little screw, which is supporting the bridge against the tension.

all the best
