    Still using the original metal bridge. I find that sustain is really dependent on how I play and I can almost always use it to my advantage. Sometimes it gets a little out of control, but I'm always getting better at harnessing it for good instead of evil.

    I agree with replacing the metal non-compensated bridge with ebony and I also agree with "Good Grief" It's just a nut, a $4 piece of bone, If it's slots are too narrow or high, put on those reading glasses and file'er down 'til it's right. I also much prefer 4 strings on my EM-200, You get two sets for the price of one, plus you can use med-heavy gauges for the big tone and still have half the tension for vibrato abd bends.
