Passerelle-inspired Guitar Bridge mkii

thingiverse

This model is inspired by Kaki King and Rachel Rozenkrantz's innovative Passerelle bridge, which transforms your guitar into a koto-style instrument. To install it, loosen the strings on your guitar until they're extremely slack. Next, place the bridge under the strings, positioned over the 16th fret. After tuning your guitar to your desired pitch, ensure each side of a given string is precisely a perfect fifth apart. For guidance, refer to Kaki King's video tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn84FfYvRv0. My initial design was excessively material-intensive, so I revised it to be significantly smaller and more streamlined. You might need to adjust the dimensions and spacing to fit your guitar and personal preference. If necessary, this can be done by scaling in the slicer, but I've also included a link to the Onshape document for you to modify the parameters as needed.
