The archtop replacement bridge with a compensated bone insert!
Base: The Bill Foley Bonetop is a complete bridge assembly, but the top section will also retrofit many common bridge bases.
Wooden Saddle: The wooden bridge saddle is lightweight and provides good lower order coupling, but has weak upper partials, and requires periodic resurfacing.
Metal Bridge: The metal bridge has moveable saddles for continuously variable intonation adjustment, but the multitude of parts compromises harmonic coupling, and the weight of the bridge damps the movement of the instrument's top.
The Bill Foley Bonetop: The simplistic design of the lightweight, compensated bone saddle provides improved coupling, resulting in better balance between upper and lower order harmonics, which allows a more natural resonance from the instrument. The durable bone saddle requires less maintenance and will take a very high polish for long lasting visual appeal.
The Bill Foley Bonetop Bridge is an archtop replacement bridge with a compensated bone insert. It is lightweight, durable, attractive, and the 2.9 inch/74mm hole-to-hole top assembly retrofits many common metal adjustable bridges as well as rosewood and ebony saddles. It can be installed in minutes, and the difference it makes in the tone must be heard to be believed!
