@deej Stunning build, great carpentry! Absolutely love the choice of bridge and saddles too, what are they please?

Too kind @tej

The bridge is a Schiller Hannes bridge. Not cheap but awesome to play on as they are smooth as silk..

@deej so far it’s gone to the top of the list, now to figure out how to fund it 🙂 I think what I need to do is to get a bridge from a company who also make a cheaper one with the same mounting of possible, that way I can move the shiniest nicest parts onto subsequent guitars I make, presuming this whole process goes well that is!! Not sure how plausible that is at all but no chance I can afford to use that grade of hardware on every build 🤔

I've sometimes done the opposite @Tej.

Made something, but with relatively "affordable" hardware, and then upgraded the parts if the guitar turned out really well.

It's difficult swapping some bridges though - that Hannes one particularly.  I'm not sure you'd find something else of the same dimensions and - critically -with the same mountings/fixings.

I’ve not found any but there are ones on eBay cheaper but may be copies. It worth saving though for best quality as the guitar benefits for it in the end.

@tej Yeah it’s not a cheap hobby this if you want decent hardware, there aren’t really any substitutions and if there are they look cheap. I resigned myself to the fact a long time ago that if I want the good stuff, then I have to pay the money for it. Every so often I will sell a guitar so money comes back in and I make a good profit. This of course gets pumped back into buying more guitar parts, expensive ones. 🤣 I never really make any money but sales do help fund the obsession/addiction/way of life. Rock n Roll 🤘😁🤘🎸

That’s what it’s all about @boo?

@Deej

I think you were on a break when Boo told us the stories of his pop up spray booth on Blackpool prom, the pink glitter body paint, and the hen parties.

You can fill in the details ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

@tv101 Well, I never expected that from you. “Suit you sir!” 🤣

@boo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually, looking through the details on that website, it's not really what I expected.

Looks pretty classy.  Probably a great night out.  

For Blackpool ...

Next job; clear my Google history!
