October 19, 1971 bass bridge drawing by Forrest White. I like to note the focus on capturing string energy and transmitting the maximum amount to the body. In the late ‘60s Leo began to favor using strong machined posts screwed into brass bushings pressed into the body. Also note the twin intonation screws per saddle. More work to set up, but twin screws may transmit more energy into the bridge plate. That focus remained constant well through the ‘70s to ‘80s here at CLF Research.
