Bridge options for these were just recently discussed in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32658
I'm torn on what to do here. On the one hand, I've recently sort Of taken to wooden bridges on my hollowbodies. I've been playing this guitar with the lighter gauge strings and I don't really notice any intonation issues even though the bridge is not compensated. I think ultimately I'd like a compensated bridge made of something really dense. Maybe even micarta. That should improve sustain and intonation without sacrificing the look of the ebony bridge.
Of course, I have been playing with heavier flat wounds lately and the challenge for me will be the setup. This guitar is hollow and I don't know how heavy I can go without riskin damage. It will be pretty scary.
