I've been looking at Brian May's red special (something of an obsession actually) and something I noticed was the roller bridge, it doesn't use a typical screw adjustment style (which I'd class as analog), instead it has a number of grooves set at fixed intervals where a loose roller can be placed and held in place by the strings (which I'd class almost as digital).
I don't know the exact dimensions but it looks like a few millimetres between each space. I'm assuming this is sufficient to intonate properly? (because it's Brian May!)
Is this design adequate? Or do you need the finer adjustments that a screw adjustment would provide to really dial it in?
