    Is there a hard-tail equivalent of the Gotoh VS-100?

    Help identify this hard tail bridge?

    Thanks you. Ahhh - as in MannMade?

    Help identify this hard tail bridge?

    I have a bridge on my 1980s Warmoth hard tail and would love to find an other like it. Maybe someone here has seen it before? I got it from a local luthier's junk drawer and I think I remember that he said it was taken off of some ~off brand~ guitar when he installed a trem for that client...

    Hipshot fixed bridge with thicker baseplate

    I still have do do some micro measuring before committing to either the .125 or .175 but I am 'suspecting' I'd not be able to get a high enough action with the .125. UPDATE: I measured my old 1980s hard-tail Warmoth and even the .175 won't give me a high enough action - and I even have it set...

    Shostakovich 5th - 2nd mvt. - I just ran across a better performance - more nuanced than I've heard before.

    I'm pretty sure they're audio - but I'll try to discover a test later - or look up the receipt. Update: Yes - they're audio taper

    OK then. Let's Pick a humbucker and have a crack at it. How about a Gibson Burstbucker pro Burstbucker Neck = 7.8K - Bridge = 8.3K - Both Alnico V or GFS Vintage '59 - Neck = 8K - Bridge = 8.5K - Both Alnico V or you pick ones that you're familiar with?

    Smooth - easy turning 500K pot - solid shaft?

    On an other subject - but still pot related. I have two very nice older Emerson 1 meg pots. Very nice loose feel. Very clean lugs. Has anyone tried 1 meg pots for Volume or tone on humbuckers? I wonder how much brighter a 1 meg is compared to a 500K. I guess I'd have to hear the difference to...
