Really?!  I don't know that I've ever seen such a beast. You are describing
some type of protrusion from the plate, similar in shape to the "v"-bar, and
located between the pressure bar and the tuning pin?

What would be the purpose of such a beast? Or am I making WAY too much of an
assumption asking that question?
