  • Looks good!

  • I put the rod under the plate, sandwiched between the plate and a 4" stainless steel bowl. I use short bolts through the bowl and plate that thread in to the bottom of the bridge. I think the bowl inside the box helps amplify the resonator effect somewhat. The result sounds pretty good whether amped or not. But it's awesome with a slide and some reverb dialed in.
  • I was thinking it would pick up vibration from the whole plate. seems to work quite well. Normally my rod piezos are directly under the saddle.

  • Here`s my banjo type of rod bridge    Mojobone Works - Rod Bridge

  • Only question..why the rod under the plate, they work better with string pressure against them from the saddle.
