BluesKing777 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, no help with the way they decide on pin placement, probably random especially on Friday, but I also love a tweed case but they don’t offer much protection ..... If Hiscox brought out a tweed case, I may have some kind of conniption fit! :blink: :blink: :blink: I wonder if you can get tweed Hiscox case covers? Ooh yeah, baby! The local guitars from Cole Clark come in a tweedy, but they put their name all over it, maybe to scare off thieves! http://coleclarkguitars.com/products/tools-and-accessories/cases/ BluesKing777.

Belly bridge (either configuration) gives more latitude in saddle placement, at the expense of losing some break angle over the saddle. The belly bridge is probably a bit better structurally.
