What's the improvement over the original 1959 abr or the Faber bridge? That Callaham seems to have retaining wire while both, the vintage and the Faber bridge has none.
If some hardware maker out there wants to improve a real 59 abr, just make an abr copy with no retaining wire and a set of interchangeable saddles of different alloys; brass, aluminium, steel...
It's sort of been done by Pigtail Music, and he offers brass or heat treated aircraft alloy saddles.
And he does an ABR out of a lightweight alloy as well. All his ABRs have no retaining wire.
Thanks for the suggestion
I'm currently using a Faber bridge and it is great. The only thing I don't like is that I can't remove the saddles so I can try other alloys.
The Pigtail lightweight bridge is quite interesting. I wonder if it is a good idea to install a light piece of metal as bridge. Perhaps you lose some sustain, I don't know.
