I can't believe there are not more offerings of this type of bridge design. This is the only one I can find it's out of stock everywhere:

Does anyone know of such an animal? The current bridge on this Lap cannot be filed flat becasue the break angle would be reduced to zero. I suppose I could try and find taller saddle pieces and file those but it seems like this should be a standard offering on a Lap. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?

Well, my guess is there is not much of a market for it. Which means there is an opening to be filled.... Are you up for it?

Nah, not me. I just thought that a company that was already tooled up to make bridges would get a few sales but you are probably right about the market. And in looking over at the Lap Steel Forum (yes there is one of those) apparently many of them don't care about a slight radius at the bridge anyway.
