Testing out some American Pro nylon bushings on a Staytrem bridge

[RockStarNick]

My takeaway:
- heavier bodies need a bridge with enough mass, to translate string vibration efficiently enough, to make the body move and vibe
- lighter weight bridges "absorb" string vibes, rather than transfer them. This can work for, or against, your tonal goals.
- lighter bodies take less resonance to get them moving, and can handle a lighter weight bridge.

HUGE Caveat here: this is my own personal experience, yours may vary!

Lastly: I've found that the nylon sleeves did not take away from the resonance at all, since the main contact point was still metal-to-metal (bridge set screw, touching bottom of pivot cup)

This is my experience so far as well. No change in acoustic or amplified tone that I can tell.
