Because they didn't have enough room to keep the same space between the two rows of bridge pins, without changing the bridge thickness near the strut. So they just compressed the space a little. Don't forget that they also tried to position the bridge base away from the front soundboard edge at the extreme treble, so the bridge doesn't sit on the rim. So they minimized the front notch. And probably also undercut the bridge. Calin Tantareanu ---------------------------------------------------- http://calintantareanu.tripod.com ----------------------------------------------------
