How about taking my guitar and putting the bridge under dry ice.
Isn't that what SRV's guitar tech did? ....Oops, mixed up the
threads.
Different saddles? As long as I don't lose tone. Aren't there
polymer bridge saddles but the make the sound more mellower. The
strings always break at the intonation point where the string first
comes in contact with the bridge.
How about a circulating liquid nitrogen system on the bridge. Cool.
Thanks,
