Just one observation I'll add about that bridge design that I'm certain was by design as much for structural integrity as aesthetic appeal. I replace and often repair a lot of ebony guitar bridges that crack, right through either the bridge pin holes or the saddle slot.
Ebony has very small pores. It's hard as dammit, and it's brittle. It will crack longways, with the grain, which is necessarily the direction of it in a steel-string acoustic guitar. Most of the time, bridge pins are arrayed in a straight line, parallel to this grain, making it all the easier. That cute little smile of bridge pins on the Element there... makes a much stronger bridge, much less likely to split. Also, see how much wood there is in front of that saddle? Highly unlikely the front of that bridge breaks off from the saddle slot. Can it happen...? Yeah, because ... wood does stuff. Much less likely here, because someone put some thought into it.
Here's what I'm talking about;
