BUMP... incredible... from july 2009

It's on the list!! That means it should be one of the next 10 guitars to be completed. The exact order isn't predictable, but it does mean that all the finish work is completed.

Consider this an official, bottles banging on table, request for pics.

More stuff happening. Here's how the channel under the bridge turned out:

  and the whole row of saddles before the finish work:

 When these are back from the gold plater (hopefully next week) we'll solder the RMC saddles en place. BTW, this is NOT the rail for your bridge, since yours is concealed hardware. When the bridge is all assembled, I'll post another picture before it's mounted to show how nicely the whole thing comes together.

Another view of the bridge, this time just before going to the plater:  

  Still some buffing to go here.  

 Where the RMC saddles drop in  

 Underside - with notes for which saddle is which!

Superb metal work !

[osoloco69]

When will those bridges and mods be available?

I should share some of the images I emailed you recently:

  The bridge turned out really nice:

  Up close, you can see how clean the design finally wound up:

  Now all that's left to do is get the electronics onboard, and schedule the time for you to pick it up and have the setup adjusted to your personal taste. I sent you an email with some details.   We're not ready to offer this bridge separate from a guitar build just yet, but I will post details on the club when then are available.

I got a chance to finally see this beautiful and  epic guitar.  I look forward to communing with this lovely instrument when the time is right.
 
I can't upload any of the pictures I took because Alembic only allows 150kb (that's 1/10 of a megabyte!) to be uploaded.  Even on the lowest quality setting my images are bigger than this in their normal aspect ratio.
