Hi Alan, Our '56 D is the same although the very top section is notched at an angle and the rest straight forward at 90 degrees. Not sure what they were thinking, but it tunes well...go figgur.

These pics (not great quality, but what can you expect from a phone, ;-)) are of a Baldwin D #141772. The top bridge section is notched normally, with the notch parallel to the capo. The mid treble bridge section is notched such that the bridge pins are in line with the bridge and at an angle to the capo. Then the notching returns to normal in the tenor section. What were they trying to achieve?
