Has anyone tried/got either of the versions?
Impressions? Who supplies/fits them?
It's starting to look like the most practical fix for a bellied bridge on one of my acoustics.

Don't talk to me about failure; sometimes I even fail to disappoint myself.

Re: Bridge Doctor: Any experience?
I installed one on an early 70s Yamaha FG-200 and it transformed the guitar from barely playable to a lovely, low action guitar.
I didn't notice any change in tone but I pretty much have cauliflower ears.

Re: Bridge Doctor: Any experience?
I'm also hoping they work well. I bought a couple (there are 2 different types, I got one of each) from Stewmac. Have not tried them yet. Thought I'd discuss with a competent luthier first. Having looked at how they work, I'd imagine that they might change the tone a little, but not necessarily in a bad way. Somebody on here shared earlier that Breedlove fit them as standard to their US-made guitars

Would you like to sell me the screw version?

Re: Bridge Doctor: Any experience?
I’ve installed one. Worked well m, tone suffered a little. But not much point having good tone and unplayable action.
