Lap Cat with Kluson Tele-style bridge

So far, I have been happy with the Kluson Tele-style bridge, but I’m open to suggestions.  It’s simple, but nice-looking and solid.  I run the strings through the body to get the best tone and sustain.  I don’t like traditional string ferrules because they’re so hard to install without damaging something.  So I make a chrome-plated brass block that does the job better.
