"Why?"
I took a slice off the block and shoved it under the archtop strings.
It has no right to sound decent, but somehow it does. Obviously no sustain to speak of, but it gives a nice warm lo-fi tone straight off the bat.
The main thing I want to know from this is how this rubber holds up to tension before I do more with it. Also seeing the best way to cut and shape it. The bandsaw worked well. I may try the laser on it soon

For example, it would be good to have something that could drop in place of a Tune o matic without modification, or replace the saddles on a tele. Ideally still being adjustable for action and intonation.

Like wise for ToM, replace the saddles?
Could be way off but it's my fist thought lol
I don't think individual TOM saddles would have enough strength, so I'm thinking of a rubber topper on a solid base.
As an example, Waterslide guitars make this.

Cool stuff

I will say my 2 minute experiment with a block of £10 material has already given pretty impressive results.
