This pic shows movable ebony saddles with brass fixing screws and phosphor bronze height adjustable saddles.The brass bridge plate sits on a piece of wood (lime I think in this case). Two piezo discs (from Maplins) are fixed to the brass plate and recesses are cut for them in the wood.This guitar is the one I am using in the latest video (Somewhere over the Rainbow)

Thank you all very much for the comments. The bridge is made in the same way as the one on the Rocky Patel 3 string I did quite a while ago. Just a different shape for the bridge plate and more rounding off on the movable bridge pieces.
