New Bridge

From kgreene on 5/5/2012 9:44:38 PM

I swapped bridges tonight on my 1980 Bellflower. It had a Huber 5/8 standard spacing. I replaced it with a Snuffy Smith 9/16 with Crowe spacing. First impression: the SS might be a nice match, it sounds a bit mellower and the height difference gives a slightly looser feel. Plus, the Crowe spacing feels great. Wonder what it'll feel like tomorrow.

I put a KatEyz 5/8 standard oldwood maple/ebony on my '88 Masterpiece, and I think it sounds great.

I put a Katzeyez 5/8 spice factory maple with purple heart top wood on my 1979 Belleflower and love it. I had a custom bridge on it already but the Katzeyez is the best.

Hmmm... might have to check out those KatEyz bridges sometime. Thanks, fellas.

I am using Kat Eyz submerged Maple+ Ebony and also the Spice factory + African Blackwood on my 88 Maple Whitestar.
BOTH are absolutely fantastic. I just cannot choose between them. I doubt they can be improved upon.

Well, I guess that makes it official. Kat Eyz bridges sound good on '88 Stelling banjos for sure.
