High Mass "Frankenstein" Bridge for 20 Bucks - How To and Sound Tests
High mass bridges are designed to provide a better tone with more sustain and harmonic content than a regular one. They also look cooler but can be quite expensive. In this video I’ll show you how I made my own “frankenstein” high mass and budget friendly bridge to replace the stock one and perform some detailed audio tests to see if there’s any improvement on the tone.

Disclaimer: Prices on this things are all over the place and apparently have changed significantly since the making of this video. I've put together a list with the closest things I could find ATM (nov. 2021) in case you want to try something similar yourself.
-The exact brand and model of the bridge used here is Sambong Bb031c but I can't find it right now. Availability of these generic parts change all the time - please let me know if you find one!
-This is the cheapest "high mass" bridge I can currently find. It's cheaper but also looks weaker: https://amzn.to/3GB68Ze
-Generic donor bridge with brass saddles: https://amzn.to/3pP7RUz
-Wilkinson donor bridge with brass saddles (this chrome version is cheaper ATM): https://amzn.to/31gnuua
-Generic brass saddles (these are now the cheapest option): https://amzn.to/3EzVpwh
-If you just want a drop in replacement this is the cheapest "high mass" bridge I found with brass saddles: https://amzn.to/3w18DPi
-This one is selled as "Fender" branded but is literally identical to the one I used in this video so I have my doubts: https://amzn.to/3EwN6Bm
-The real deal: https://amzn.to/3EszZRC
