... but then removes several top frets from the neck, along with the fretboard, likely to have a strumming area for when the right hand is palm fretting.

I predict that hardly anyone else who installs the palm muting bridge will take a chunk out of their neck; that would be a deal breaker for most guitarists.

This will also absolutely interfere with palm muting, which is a big part of the normal way some people play guitar. Palm mute a little too hard and you suddenly get a clear, fretted note.
