I have a 2003 Christopher 7/8 Busetto model DB304F5, with two Fishman Piezos installed. I am wondering what its value is today, though I don't want to sell it. I set the action myself with micrometer and when I recieved it, the sound post had fallen, I just guessed where it should be. I play jazz so it's plenty loud. It is in great shape. Anyone know its value?

Off topic. Sorry.
What are the (plastic?) translucent thingys on the crest of the bridge?
Also - IMO - the (high) Gstring looks dangerously close to the edge of the fingerboard - the bridge may need to be moved toward the (low) B string side to center the strings on the fingerboard.
Thanks.

I machined a set of aluminum clamps to hold the piezos on with setscrews. After the fishman clamps fell off on two different gigs. The G string problem has been resolved. Thanks!
