Dissatisfied with the limitations of the preparation of a normal guitar, several people began building instruments to improve the technical possibillities. Glenn Branca has created several primitive but effective working models of 3rd bridge guitars. The pencilina of Bradford Reed is a more complicated example of a double 3rd bridge guitar. Experimental luthier Yuri landman built a 12-string 3rd bridge guitar for Aaron Hemphill of the Liars. The American band Neptune has also created custom-made guitars with drumsticks used as a 3rd bridge. Glenn Branca (born October 6, 1948 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) is an avant-garde composer and guitarist. ...

Leo Fender designed two guitars, the Fender Jaguar and the Fender Jazzmaster, which accidentally have a primitive 3rd bridge mechanism in their floating bridge with limited timbre when used in an extended technique. When the strings are attacked behind the bridge, a 3rd bridge sound is created. Leo Fender working on a guitar Clarence Leonidas Fender (August 10, 1909 - March 21, 1991) was an American luthier who founded Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company, now known as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, and later founded G&L Musical Products (G&L Guitars). ...

How it works
The 3rd bridge divides the strings into two segments with different pitches. Depending on where the string is played, a harmonic-like second tone is created. This sound is often described as a bell-like tone. The string resonates more or less when the back side is struck, depending on the position along the string. The reason this happens can be explained by the theory of acoustic resonance and microtonality. At harmonic nodal positions, the string resonates more then at other positions. For instance, dividing the string 1/3 + 2/3 creates a clear overtone, while 24/33 + 9/33 creates an indistict overtone. Acoustic resonance is an important consideration for instrument builders as most acoustic instruments use resonators, such as the strings and body of a violin, the length of tube in a flute, and the shape of a drum membrane. ...
