Hello, I'm thinking about building a quilted maple thinline with a B5. I'm avoiding the B16 as it just looks ugly to me.

What are the best bridge options? I guess I can use a standard bridge and file notches? I also like the look of the Mastery bridge but that is a lot of money. Are there any other ideas? pics would be great.

I also need to figure out where to leave wood in the body to support the bigsby but that should be easy enough when i have it in hand.

Cheers
Dave
