Makes sense by reducing the weight and having the string vibrations going more directly to the top the volume and tone should improve.
Any experience with this? Know of anybody that is really good at doing it?
Thanks for your input.
A buddy of mine has one that was retrofitted to a standard bridge with bone saddle and pins, tone and volume is 100% better than before.

I,d say go for it
