Frank Falbo devised a new string anchoring technique (the Falbo Intension bridge) which was launched in 2012. Falbo's design has the strings anchored with the ball ends inside the soundboard - this way the upwards pull on the bridge & soundboard is balanced by the string tension. This allows for lighter top bracing and consequently a bigger sound. Falbo offers a range of acoustic guitars as well as a hollow body electric guitar with this bridge design. Previously Falbo was Vice President of product development at Seymour Duncan, from 2007 to 2012.
