Yes, I agree on the basic structure being known. I can do in FR4 or make with nearly any other material in nearly any design. What I didn't know is what will sound as expected with wood. The thickness may need to be thicker for the same rigidity. Should this be done by making it thicker or a different taper with varying thickness or something else? What should the pressure distribution be - this will vary (between the tailpiece or neck side) depending on where the strings are between the feet. Im assuming that people may want different weight, string spacing, height, and possibly g string comp also if they are looking for a custom bridge. This is a bit outside of my norm since I dont personally own anything like this.
Also, I realize that you have a great tome of banjo bridge information publicly available on your site. Thanks for all that you have done :)
