Sean,
Doesn't in mess with vibrato and such on non-straight rhythm parts? That would be my main concern--potential limitations. The longevity doesn't seem like a huge deal as you have to replace parts with any bridge that have moving parts anyway.
Thanks.
Hey egan,
hmmm....
"mess" is a strong word.
If its a guitar youre intimately familiar with, you may notice a tiny change.
But as you know, any change in bridge, string gauge, action, fret job etc, is gonna change the response of the guitar.
But if you were to pick up one of my guitars, that you didnt know well, you wouldnt notice a difference.
heres a clip of a guy who is a pretty strong player with a pretty cool vibrato, he seems comfortable.
and heres a friend of mine who I first told about it, hes a little nuts, but fun:

like I said before, its a real fix, it may or may not be for you, but its worth checking out.
best,
Sean
