Hey fellow builders.

I have a question. A client of mine wants to have a 335 with a wider neck. But it also needs to be a tuneomatic bridge. I searched the net but I couldn't find anything larger than 51mm string spread. I need something that I can stretch to 60mm. Is there anything I can use or do you have any ideas to work around this problem?Β 

Much appreciated.

Don't grow up! It's a trap!

@petersoyanov I can get you to 57.5mm string spacing, how’s that?Β 

Schaller do some bridges that adjust the string spacing so have a look.

Hey man thanks. Just saw that couple of hours ago. I think that 57mm is close enough. Now off to find custom pickups for this build. πŸ˜€Β

@petersoyanov No problem. 👍 Good luck with the pickups, I’m sure one of the myriad of boutique pickup makers will be able to help you out. I bet it won’t be cheap though, that is bespoke sizing. Rock n Roll. 🤘😜🎸
