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.

That jack orientation is pure genius.
