I built Al the Les Paul Style and he has been playing it a lot. I had carved an aluminum bridge that sounded great but was breaking strings. The Metal was too soft and aluminum can be sticky. I decided to make a bridge using saddles made of bar fret I had left over from refretting old Martins. I made a split saddle for improved intonation and pinned the bridge to the top under the feet. The new bridge sounds better than before, less ringing a little more precise in articulation.
