Bridge with adjustable spacing

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm trying to find out what bridges are available with adjustable string spacing. I found a couple from Schaller, but wondered if anyone here has one that they could either recommend or tell me to avoid! :-)

For example, one of the Schallers allows you to move the saddle, but the hole where the string ball sits is stationary, which would create an angle that the string would be in once you move the saddle (I'd have to think that is not recommended). The other one they sell moves the entire ball and saddle as one for each string.

Thanks for any help... FYI, I'd be looking for a 4-string type.

Schallers work fine. The "angle", is of no concern.
