WTF? Does anyone really do this to their bridges?

I guess this is from www.fenderjaguar.net.  I saw it on another forum.  What the hell are they thinking?

Medieval torture device for heretic strings?

oh my.... 

How heavy would you have to play to need that much pressure over the saddles?

[RumorsOFsurF]

Vintage bridge, too....with silly saddles. 

Looks like an AVRI guitar, though, from the pickup, pickguard, and color.

Yep.  Bad news if your guitar is grounded through the bridge.

My first thought ... "Goodbye tremolo".

[sookwinder]

what astounds me when I see photos like this is that it really isn't that hard to set up a jaguar/jazzmaster bridge ...  as they say, it ain't rocket science...

[Stereordinary]

That is hilarious!
