an opera singer loose on a pop song

PMJ is more of a collective than a band, with a constantly-changing roster of singers and musicians. What is constant is band leader and pianist Scott Bradlee, and the retro style. There is a ton of stuff on YouTube, these are some of my favorites.

Fender-style Piezo Bridge

I just built this - my first bridge. The plate is 1/8" aluminum, screws from Home Depot, springs from the ~~junk~~ tone box. The saddle is from the truss rod I just destructed, plus a scrap of phenolic I found and shaped to a pointed 12" radius. The bushings are black plastic and were the hardest part to come up with, I finally bought some plastic chain that fit and cut them from that. They are drilled and threaded for the screws, although with plastic you can just force the screws in.
