er... what's wrong with routing the bridge in?
I dont wanna, thats whats wrong with it :P
Besides I've quite thoroughly warmed to the idea of the Hannes now. I thought it had some good ideas behind it, and thought that it looked like it might be well excecuted, wasnt too sure because it was all hype-speak in the articles, and you dont know if people endorsing it were paid to or got free stuff or are after different things that you or whatever - but bob agrees that its got some good ideas behind it and in the design (enough that he was gonna get one to try it out anyway), and I cant find anything I like more. The kahler and the speedloader fixed are pretty good, but I want to give this independent string coupling thing a whirl now. Sure its not gonna work miracles - I mean it connects to a neck and body that dont decouple each string, but it might have some effect, and it looks really, really comfortable for palm muting :D
