I like the idea of adjustable saddles on acoustic guitars, just haven't thought of how to do it yet.  It sure would help setting up the intonation which most will need at one time or another.I haven't seen any guitars posted here with adjustable saddles yet,but i do think there would be a market for them if they existed.

For what its worth, according to the description, it has individually adjustable saddles for each string. http://www.topshelfmusic.com/S9911080006.jpg |

I shuddered, I cringed, I frowned, I sat watching in amazement, I muttered to myself.... "Holy _______" ... all the while tapping my feet and kinda bouncin' in my chair to the music. Sometimes an idea can be a dangerous thing.. especially when accompanied by an old Floyd Rose saddle, a humbucker pickup and a drill...  Just think what he'd be capable of with a proper set of tools.... My son has left a bunch of old electric guitar parts laying around.... I think I'll go and sort through them.. |

The music with the video was pretty cool. The Floydvino didn't sound so hot to me. I vote hatchet job but, hey, it's his guitar. |

My exact words when he pulled out the drill..."Ohhhh, Nnnnnnnooooooooooooo!"  I assume it sounds like crap with that big chunk of metal weighing down the sound board. I hope it wasn't too expensive a guitar. Or they guys got too much money on his hands. |

I hope he's got the camera rolling when he pulls up and yanks the bridge right off the top!!! |

I think the guy is on to something there. A real inovator. But, I'm sure sometime in the future something is going to start cracking. |

I just completed a modification to my friend's Rainsong. I machined a bridge and saddles out of aluminum and installed LR Baggs Hex pickups in each saddle. It's very versatile-adjustable for intonation and height. It sounds great. Check out David Wilcox's Rainsong on the cover of his CD Airstream. Matt |
