Graph Tech ResoMax bridges

[Dave Sloven]

I'm leaning toward the string saver saddles.  Apparently with them you lose a bit at 2KHz but gain harmonic content across the rest of the range.

Would any loss of brightness be something that could be compensated for with the tone control or a capacitor change?  The idea of having additional harmonic available through the range appeals to me.

Also, I am wondering if these ResoMax bridges lose any 'chunk' compared to the standard Gibson 'lightning' style wraptail?

I found that string saver saddles are brighter and a bit more 'glassy'.  I like the Resomax on the Lion and would recommend it to anyone.

I do like the look of the bridge on your Lion:



EDIT:

I ordered one of the NW2 bridges just now together with a TUSQ XL nut.  Hopefully between those, a set up, and the custom harness and shielding I am fitting at the moment my few little reliability, noise, and tuning issues will all be addressed before we start gigging with this guitar.
