Sounds like you’ve really been down the road with this. What about compound parts. Brass saddles on a steel or aluminum base, that kind of thing. Thanks for your info!

So interesting. what other differences were there between the two bridges? were they made of the same alloy, what types of saddles, etc.. I’ve only build two guitars, one through body and the other a top loader, but one was tele pickups and the other humbuckers. I’m happy with the tone and playability of both so it’s really a thought exercise for me at this point. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for your insight. Very helpful. I hadn’t considered the material of the bridge in that way, but now that you mention it that makes a ton of sense. I’m curious on what the difference is between through body and top loader. I’ve been wondering about it because, theoretically (said in complete ignorance) the only part of the string that should be vibrating is between the saddle and the nut, no? If that’s the case, how does running the strings through the body make a difference? Happy to be educated. Thanks
