After reading posts on a bridges effect on dampening and sound, I started doing some searches on bridge designs and came across this. It has nothing to do with bridges, but found it interesting. I don't know how useful the info is, but one of the pictures raised a question. Has anyone tried an experimental guitar with separate chambers for individual strings? It seems like it could open a whole new world for experimenting. Different woods for different chambers, soundhole sizes, chamber sizes, etc.......
