I always imagined they did it, because they'd made scores of thousands of those bridges and no other demand for them ever appeared. They needed to dump them.

Maybe FMIC felt if the Nashville had had a really superb bridge, in stock form, it would have undercut the sales of too many much more profitable models. The same argument could be made for the otherwise very desirable MIM James Burton Standard (he's one of those guys who genuinely used this bridge type).
