Just Found my Dream Hardtail Bridge!

[dayl]

Its a Schaller - Hannes string through

Schaller picked this design up from a guy by the name of Roland Hannes whom I know little to nothing about other than he created this bad boy. Schaller now market it to the wider public although at this stage I get the feeling that you should buy two for parts later on.. I don't know why.. prob because it doesn't look like a strat bridge or a floyd

Saddles are created by graphtech..which look cool.

Don't know much about the pricing ..no point for me to know at present but I would imagine it would not be cheap.

Here is the product blurb that with links to the tech drawings, installation guides etc.

Anyway, hats off to a design and innovation that I totally dig!

Very nice!

looks cool, but also looks a bit too complicated for a hardtail, ie too many parts to wearout/break....

[dayl]

It almost looks like more than it is.. its only the saddles that make it look complicated.. with graphite construction 'they' say less wear than steel etc.

VERY nice looking. I suppose the graphite vibrates less too, eh? More sustain? (I really should go read their blurb, I should)

Mmmmmm hot!

The whole combination of bridge, pickup and control in gold looks very nice in that picture. From a styling perspective I'd consider it as an option.

I'd worry the saddles would break, they don't look as hard as steel - I'm probably completely wrong though.

I wonder how they feel when you palm mute off them or you rest you hand on the bridge during playing (terrible bad habit of mine I'm sure, and why I like the Gibson LP style two part tune-o-matic bridge as there's plenty of space to rest on)

yeah, looks like it would feel like a floyd to rest on, which i dont like either

These should probably be in the Tele Love Thread, but they do have the right bridge.

You just know Jeremy'll stomp his foot and pout a bit when he reads that.
