Thank you Colin,



One more question if I may.  Do you inlay the bone piece in the plate or if you laminate the bone on top of the plate?



TIA

Michael, I think you misread my post.  I said I make sure not to use quarter sawn.  And I said not parallel to the holes (plural) meaning parallel to the line of holes.


By the way, thanks for the bone idea, Colin.  I'm going to give that a try.


Also, for those of you that heat parts for hide glue, do you ever worry about humidity issues?  We all go to such lengths to control humidity for glue ups that I've never been comfortable with the idea of heating parts and potentially drastically changing the relative humidity, particularly for plates.  But I know a lot of folks do it so is it not an issue and why?

Hesh I can't answer your wood question very specifically but I have built 3 guitars with BRW bridge plates. They were all just fine but seemed to me to be a tad less focused than The same spec guitars I built with Maple bridge plates.

one the bone issue I have noticed a bit more sting noise but much higher and brighter high notes. But not near as bad string noise as you apparently.

Todd, are you saying it's not a perfect world?  Man, you could have saved me a lot of headaches if you would have told me that 30-40 years ago.
