If you're looking at buying your own tooling, at that point why simply copy a 20 year old design?

Getting away from Zen-On was part of the reason for designing a new trem. It's not just them per se, but primarily the high cost of manufacturing in Wed, 14 May 2008 23:18:56 GMT call_me_trynyty http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/steinberger_world/message/34760 http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/steinberger_world/message/34760 Do we know if these are definitely zen-on bridges??
