CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS– Bodyshell:Hollow moulded bodyshell, from carbon fibre and kevlar composites, giving a high strength to weight ratio and stability across temperature and humidity ranges. The hollow body generates a sound profile within body structure presenting an open sound without the use of reverb or delay. Smooth and forgiving when played, but with real strength in the body shell construction. The hollow body allows low volume practice without the use of headphones or amps.– Headstock & Neck:The neck and headstock are carved from a single maple block. The headstock design is a modified copy of the 1710 Stradivari Viola da Gamba head. The neck is hand coloured and finished with oils, for a fast, smooth, traditional finish. All repairs which become necessary with time to acoustic orchestral string instruments, can be performed byluthiers on Bridge instruments (E.g. replacing or shooting fingerboards(traditional glues have been used), nut re-shaping and peg fitting).– Fingerboard: Ebony fingerboard, shaped to professional specifications.FITTINGS ON BRIDGE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS– Pegs: Violins and cellos are fitted with swiss pattern ebony pegs.– Machine Heads: Cetus Bass is fitted with brass Tyrolean style engraved brass plate machine heads– Nut: Ebony nut. – Bridge:The BRIDGE pick up system is encapsulated within the bridge, designed by BRIDGE, specifically to function with BRIDGE instruments.– Tailpiece:Violins and cellos are fitted with lightweight alloy tuner tailpieces and fine adjusters for accurate tuning.
