It'll cost a fair bit here in UK, but the quality and the pups and the heel-width do it for me way above what other makers offer.
BUT I'm stuck on one component, for lack of knowledge.
I want to "saw-off" the bridge on the treble side, to facilitate fingerpicking, in the manner of a Callaham bridge, for example.
And obviously, one solution could be to simply fit a Callaham bridge, after drilling it for the B-string to pass through. (I know Callaham do a B-Bender "notch, but that doesn't set the height of the string like a hole does, and so doesn't work with a Hipshot; I'd much rather just do the hole-and-teflon-tube method that Hipshot recommend, it works fine).
BUT I note that Callaham state that their bridge is made from thicker steel, and they claim that it reduces "harsh high end". Which would be fine except for the fact that the two Asat Classics that I've managed to try here in England didn't have any harsh high end! They had the best Tele snarl, but no icepicks. So I worry that the Callaham might leave me with a rather duller Classic than I want.

Does anyone have any experience of this?
Alternatively, I am thinking of cutting down a regular Classic bridge (from the G&L shop) and then getting it re-plated to protect the exposed edges. But whether it would survive this without getting distorted or the holes become small from the extra plating, I'm unsure.
I certainly don't want to use anything aluminum or stainless, they do things to the sound that are not for me.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Best,
Nick
