Bridge for lapsteel 6 string

thingiverse

Bridge for lapsteel guitar for 6 strings. Made with freecad on linux computer. The purpose is to put a round bar from 10 mm or 3/8" in the slot where the strings pass over. This bridge gives very good sustain because of the solid construction and large surface contact with the lapsteel. String spacing is 11 mm or a little more then 3/8". As you can see the bridge has a little intonation correction, where the lower strings will have a slightly longer scale. I wanted to create a bridge where you can quickly remove the strings above the pickup to change the pickup designs, without complete unwind the the strings.
