I have included a crude drawing at the bottom.
I am thinking I will need some rotating saddles similar to these:

And then another set mounted behind that so that the string is underneath it like in the picture. That way when a metal "close-pin" is mounted to the body of the guitar you can press down with your palm which would pull the string up. The rollers would help reduce friction as well as help return the guitar in tune so the string doesnt catch on the bridge.
I wass thinking this was what I was looking for however I called Hipshot and they said it was only a Part of their B-bender system:

Here is an example of a palm steel made on youtube however, I think that the bar over the top of the bridge would be harder to play and would get in the way:

Here is something that looked like it would work but when I called the company they talked like that was not what I was looking for. It looks like there are 4 different levers behind the bridge in this picture:

Where can I get something like this made or does it already exist?
Please help I am ready to get this made soon! Thank you!
