Can't right now as I'm trying to sell a few things to buy something that I have my eye on. But maybe in the future :wink:

Visually it looks pretty close to the Patrick Eggle Berlin models, and that's a guitar that is on my bucket list to own at some point

Lawrence, what bridge is that on here? Looks like a good alternative to the Gibson lightning....

the bridge is from GFS...its all brass and the sliding pieces lock from both sides with grub screws - which is how its intonated. Its quite nice e - I had two strings not clearing the slot nicely. I had to work the slots to clear any burrs in there. Oh and its $42 US!
Ill use again.

It's a modern take on the bridge on my Harmony which has the same 2 screw method of adjusting intonation.

Damn, beauty! I dig the jack orientation... I assume you had the old cable-looped-through-the-strap trick in mind? I'm surprised I haven't seen that anywhere before.

me neither - Ive been doing this since about Number 7 I think...it just works so beautifully. Im really surpised its not the norm. Ibanez have had it at 90 degrees on the Talman, but Ive never seen this elsewhere.
