Sold to raiseittoeleven.  Enjoy the bridge my friend and be sure to post progress pics. Cheers, John

This was an extra bridge that I had custom made for me by DR6 (forum member here).  I ordered two...used one. Brushed aluminum.  6 hole model.  Direct drop in for Strat.  Thread discussing the bridge here: http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=18300.195 I just want this to go to a...

There is actually a Ghost Piezo system concealed pretty well in this bridge.  Fine work to hide those nasty piezo wires by my guitar guy... Cheers, Tele (2) by orldea, on Flickr Tele (Scartozi) by orldea, on Flickr Tele by orldea, on Flickr

I don' think I ever updated this project.  I have been pretty quiet for awhile. Busy, busy... I have been happily playing this one for a couple of years now (time flies).  Hopyfully this link works... Thanks Doug (DR6) for the fine bridge.  I have an extra bridge to put up for sale... Tele...

Thank you gentlemen...10 mm it is. Pics to follow...

I haven't posted in a while...I do visit the forum every couple of weeks. I am in the middle of a build right now (I am carving the body and headstock) and installing Schaller Mini Tuners. The Warmoth guide indicates drilling 25/64" for the Schallers. I didn't have that in my kit and I went...

Hey Doug, the new bridge arrived!  It is perfect...thank you! Some pics before I send it off the the tech for assembly: Scartozi by orldea, on Flickr Scartozi (First) by orldea, on Flickr Scartozi (4) by orldea, on Flickr Scartozi (2) by orldea, on Flickr She should be finished in a couple...

Update, I just sold these wonderful pieces to a rather nice fella in Hamilton.  I hope he has the time (that I didn't) to finish the job. The concept of this build is not dead.  I ordered all finished parts from Warmoth once I realized I was never going to get the time to finish it. Here is...

I will admit that I was a teen in the 80's.  I learned to play the guitar to those hair metal ballads...Scorpions, Ozzy, Bon Jovi...good stuff. I still listen to them when my wife isn't in the car...she was more into new wave back in the day.  Good thing she's cute...I sure didn't marry her for...

Hey Frank, I am getting the tech to drill the extra output hole and route a channel under the bridge so the piezo wiring can be concealed.  I have the equipment to do the job myself but I have no time....2 young kids...life if busy.  I have another project on the go right now and it has taken...

Thanks Doug...I am still waiting on a few other parts (Ebony knobs from LMII, neck screws for contoured heel via Warmoth, Scaller strap locks) then its off to my tech for assembly and fret dressing.

Cagey, I found it impossible to get a usable acoustic tone out of a piezo bridge through an electric guitar amp.  I go straight to the PA through a DI box, or plug into my Fender Acoustasonic 30 Watt Amp.  The amp is the key.  It went from "meh" to "WOW" with an acoustic amp (touch of delay...

I have two guitars set up with the stereo output.  It works fine.  Like you, I play entire sets of just acoustic numbers.  I even designed this guitar to have an acoustic guitar aesthetic to it with the Sitka Spruce top.  It won't look too suspicious when you hear an acoustic guitar coming out...

Bingo!

Honestly, I never found a use for the "blend" sound.  I know it's a big feature for some people.  I never used it.  The stuff I am playing is going to be an acoustic song or an electric song.  My singer plays an acoustic guitar, so that tone is already there in all of our songs.  I can still run...
