I see only 2psi difference. 

Is there another aspect I am missing? Am I not reading the information correctly?

TIA

if you sketch something out, will you please post it here Greg?

and cheap too - the tuners are less than a dollar a piece

Yes Greg, yes Norris, and YES Andy - the reason this comes up for me is that my go to is to bend the living crap out of g and b. I have a floyd rose and love being able to make that micro adjustment with my right hand. Not a big fan of the floyd, tho. Don't use the guitar that much. I would find it interesting to put fine tuners on a Les Paul or similar. 

And tru on you Norris, it would look boss as heck.

someone at the Gibson corporation thinks there is a market for fine tuning tailpiece action, to the tune of $140 USD.

Long time lurker, first time poster, forgive me if this is a silly question:

Has anyone considered using viola fine tuners on a guitar bridge?

I somewhat accidentally ran across these on a related web search, and am wondering why not install them on a guitar?

I've never seen such a thing, but can't think of why it could not be possible...

Thanks for your thoughts.
