I documented this entire build on another forum (the TLC) where every choice was explained. But yes, the bridges were all cut from the same chunk of African Ebony, and all were carefully scraped until they all were the same weight.
All the steps were done sequentially, using the same settings on every tool/machine. We even had the same atmospheric conditions on the days we glued the bridges to their bodies.
As for why the maple was the loudest, all I can say is that the Birdseye maple was really kicking something into the equation.
