Anyone that has ever played an old, Rick Fry Pan, any of several replicas, Bigsby or Dust Pan realizes that there is definitely a metalic sound that forms the overal tone of the guitar. Some love it; others, find it a bit harsh to the ear.
I just acquired a mighty fine guitar from world famous Howard White, Gallatine, TN., of Hickory Records fame.... It's a Trot-Mor or Trot-Moore (I've seen it spelled both ways). On this great historical guitar, a wooden type bridge has been inserted and another such insert at the pickin' end also.
The tone is much more pleasant and it really gives some warmth to it. Greater fullness and less metalic.
Is this a common practice out there? |

Raymond;
According to Howard, the proper spelling is Trot~More! (Just a bit of trivia again!)

| THANKS once again John. Sounds like that old Russian drink that once was so popular; they called it the "Trot-ski"; a shot of Vodka and a double prune juice chaser. Whew! |
