This is our "hybrid" 12-string bridge; 6 pinned and 6 pin-less strings. It makes for a stylish and sophisticated look that allows a lighter bridge

My good friend and great builder David Eichelbaum designed his own 8 string bridge with 2 pin-less strings. I thought it a brilliant idea.

I immediately loved the idea and wanted to adapt it to my 12-string. This allows each string pair to be much tighter together than on typical 12-string bridges. This makes right hand technique far more intuitive and natural. For the saddle I have developed a new system for optimal intonation and for keeping the strings correctly aligned
