Acoustic guitar with a floating bridge

[hybridalien]

Im sure ive seen one i a catalog a long time ago.
I just don't remember what make it was.
I think about Yamaha or Ovation

Anybody know that?

[hybridalien]

I can't find a pic. I was probably a joke or some kind of pub.
It was like 10 years ago.
Anyways, where do you put the springs?
It was a question for my project

No, one with a tremolo arm.

I dream about that all night.
The only way it could be done is by placing a wood bloc under the saddles placement.
The bloc taking all gap between the interior front and back pannels
Make some kind of routing to a custom one.

It surely could be done, i think.

P.S. Night give some strange ideas

The middle piece of the bridge is wedge-shaped and can be moved to adjust the action. There is solid contact across the bridge, with only bridge wood as the sound medium.

For certain setups, such as with Gypsy jazz strings and a certain desired sound, I use a single-piece (non-height-adjustable) bridge in order to reduce the mass sufficiently. For such bridges, ebony or other hardwood "shims" can easily be placed under the bridge during, say, winter, when building heat systems typically reduce the relative humidity of the air (although cedar and redwood in particular are very stable despite changes in relative

Actually, Babicz guitars other than Tribeca models have a bit of a floating or double bridge. They are interesting, but I enjoy mine. Absolutely no lifting of bridge occurs.
