The 3rd bridge is an extended playing technique used on some string instruments (notably the electric guitar), which allows a musician to produce distinctive timbres and overtones which are unavailable on a conventional string instrument with two bridges. The timbre created with this technique is close to that of Gamelan instruments like the bonang and similar Indonesian types of pitched gongs. Third bridge instruments can be custom-made (as with guitars designed and played by Hans Reichel); jerry-rigged (as with conventional guitars modified with a pencil or screwdriver under the strings[1]); or may take advantage of design quirks of factory-built instruments.
