I'm talking the TOM style bridge, with roller saddles. Or the Wilkinson style.
As far as pros and cons go, I would say an obvious pro would be less chance of string breakage. Not that's a problem for me, but it is a plus.
Looking at the design of the bridge, the first con I see is that the string spacing is set in stone. I don't believe it's adjustable. It's not like getting new saddles and cutting them to your guitars specs, you have to go with what's there.
Then, I wonder about comfort. Does it feel any different from a regular TOM?
Do you have to change your hand placement for the correct palm mutes, like a Tom compared to a Floyd? I don't think a slight palm adjustment would be much to get used to, I'd just like to know if there is a slightly different feel to them.
Maybe some of you guys have some experience with 'em.
