From my memory and it's a long time ago the titanium was used as a thin layer on the outer casing as it behaved better in the barrel.

the way this thread evolved from floating bridges to terminal ballistics is quite fascinating...  :)

The point is it wont hold strings. Or shape for more than 10 seconds of resting your hand on it.

You basically want a sand bridge. Same sort of structural strength.

Now, an aggregated carbon nanorod bridge - thats another story.

I still want one!

Well you cant have one!

Even if you got the yellow cake your bridge would be as durable as a sandcastle.

Hell, the whole guitar could fall apart in my hands but I'd still be able to tell people I have a yellow cake uranium bridge on my guitar - And be the coolest guy on the planet.

But you wouldnt have a yellowcake bridge, because it would turn to dust almost instantly. Thus no longer being a bridge, but rather a highly transportable alpha-source contaminant, that would likely get on your hands, all sorts of nearby surfaces, in your mouth, digestive system and blood stream and you'd be the coolest terminal cancer patient on the planet :P

Aggregated diamond nanorods > Yellowcake.

In fact aggregated diamond nanorods > every other substance ever. Your hair can fall out and the kemo make you sick as a dog while I have a bridge that takes a gigawatt laser to marr the surface.

Is it technically correct to call them 'diamond' nanorods? Are you talking about Buckminster-fullerene type carbon nano-tubes? If so, they definitely don't share the same structure as diamond!

They dont, and they are buckyrods, but they're called diamond rods.

Dont know why (I agree with you, but thats what they're called)

Probably because 'pencil nanorods' sounds a bit cr@p!

Hi! Through the wonders of technology, I noticed a flood of referrals to my web-site from this forum so I thought I would introduce myself.

I think this thread already captures most of what I am aiming for in my design, namely:
- reduced weight (material choice, removal of regular tuners, weight of the head)
- better distribution of weight (move weight closer to the body's centre of gravity by removing weight off head)

I then chose to make it fit a Floyd-Rose cavity to reach beyond the luthier market, i.e. to folks who are handy and want to experiment but that don't necessarily have the skills to design a guitar around the hardware.

I am currently selling my prototype stock of trems to fund future development and have production fixed bridges for sale.

I also invite collaboration and ideas, so feel free to check in!

Cheers,
Ola
