Yes, if I remember correctly it was a sex gender project (black to chrome) of yours...

Ugly, but they work.
Naw, they can be ok on some basses, but I prefer the elegance of the "floating bridge".
The bent look of your original bridge is an Epi disease. Epi uses bridges made from cheaper softer metal that doesn't withstand the uneven pull a three-point has to withstand (depending on the setup) as well as the Gibson bridges. The Epi bridges are also lighter.
With the bridge as bent as yours it was near impossible adjusting it to a reasonable action. Not that TBirds are low-action wonders.
In real life, most things run in the middle.
My brother went from being a lefty conspiracy theorist to being a righty/populist conspiracy theorist/nihilist.Same thing really, in Greece we call this "The theory of two extremes", meaning that both extreme leftists and extreme righties have much more in common, than with the rest of the political parties. It sounds weird, but switching between them is very easy.
Weren't you specializing in exotic fruit and Lebkuchen last I heard?
One of my favorite quotes of Nietzsche is about the ancient Greeks. It probably sounds more poetic in the original language. But here it is in English:
"What suffering this race must have endured in order to create such beauty."
This is a paraphrase, but the first English translation that I read was one I like better. It's the one which has stuck with me through the years:
"What suffering the Greeks must have endured to have become so beautiful."
