*** I did take the time to try out this idea of carving the bridge as opposed to retrofitting agraffes in order to create equal string lengths in the bichords.
I laid out my paper string pattern and tried to pencil in a notching pattern onto the bridge outline that matched the 27 degree angle of the upper termination.
The issues that I see are that this will tend to narrow the string spacing, decrease the string off-set at the bridge pins and the front and rear relief notches may cause interference with neighboring strings and or notches.
Making a jig that would help scribe the 27 degree off-set onto the bridge at the speaking length is easy enough but I think I may need larger diameter bridge pins than are available to get a good off-set.
I really do not think it will work.
