Jeff Babicz has the strings anchored around the perimeter of the soundboard, with a through string block behind the bridge providing string angle to the saddle. I remember Ray Kraut once designed a floating "tailpiece" that rested against the bridge or so where the strings were anchored, and went through the back of the bridge and over the saddle.
I am familiar with these .
They are so complicated .
Don't know if I want to give this up quite yet . Maybe I was wrong to interject this .

Maybe this will help to get some thinking caps on . Sorry that I don't have any closeup/s of the bridge at this time . I love simple .
Sorry again Louie , my computer skills are rather limited , so I don't know how to generate a drawing .
