EBMM Sabre copy

[derums]

Hi I'm working with a cnc builder on making a EMBB Sabre copy. What would you guys recommend as a tremelo system that would be comparable to the EBMM Sabre bridge. Since it's proprietary I can't get that exact bridge.  Has anyone here built anything like this or have any suggestions?

Looking at this guitar on their website (https://www.music-man.com/instruments/guitars/sabre), one of the videos momentarily showed the trem in exploded view and it looks to be a two-point strat style trem with an additional plate on top. If it was me trying to replicate this, I'd probably be thinking about getting hold of a  good quality trem unit (Schaller,  Gotoh, or suchlike) and getting someone to machine a plate to go on?

Without saying what I think of making a copy of something that is available from the original manufacturer… oh, I think I said it without saying it.

That aside, there many options available that will technically do pretty much the same as the EBMM Modern tremolo. It is a simple floating tremolo so for example Schaller Vintage tremolo could be an option. What comes to looks, there you probably have get creative as I don’t know any model with a cover like in the EBMM bridge. Unless you find a second hand original.

I can't speak for the sabre, but I've owned a JP12 and JP15, the trem was very similar to a simple Gotoh 510 with a metal housing at the base (plus the piezos). 

With some slight mods, you might use a floyd rose rail tail as a 2 point, and put a metal housing at  the base?
