Did Chet or Paul use a Tru Arc bridge? If not what bridge did they use? Thanks

I know my dad did, he thought they were great, I may be wrong, but I don't think they were available when Chet was living at the time.

Micah is correct saying the Tru Arc was not available when Chet was alive. I believe Paul was given some different models to compare. I bought one on Paul's reccomendation for my old 61 Gent and, fwiw, he reccomended brass to me.

Instant effect on sustain is what I noticed. May have improved the playability some but I had no complaints in that area. Definitely does nice things to your sustain, though.

Had they been available when Chet was still using his 59 I have no doubt he would have used one.
