I had to chuckle at $150 Economy Shipping.

Also appears to have a plastic or possibly graphite nut. One might have to install a major sustain block when reverting to the proper bridge, just to cover the screwholes.

What a shame about the replaced bridge. Another 'improvement' which devalues the instrument.

I know you can set the spacing on those bridges, but the E & G strings look dangerously close to the edge....
