A good tool is a joy to behold and a blessing to us all. Can you say hallelujah?

'Tis a wonderful weapon you possess, Mr. R6, and you wield it masterfully.

For your next trick, you should machine the bridge of doom. Or, at least some stainless and/or brass compensated fretboard nuts.

Ahhhh yes, the bridge of Doom... :toothy12:
 
Yes, the Bridge of Doom. Somebody's gotta do it. None of the major manufacturers seem to be interested. All they want to do is perpetuate the standard crap. Schaller's the only one who's even remotely interested in making something decent, but for some reason they can't seem to get the things over the pond so the largest market on the planet can get to them.

If you build it, they will come.

That's what she said? :sad:
 
Methinks you've been reading too many bodice-ripping romance novels. But, you're right. It is suggestive, if you're of a mind <grin>
 
Having been a fantasy novel reader from the womb, I must inquire. What is this bridge thou dost speak of? Be it a mythical bridge only or be there specific weight and measure that define it?
 
It be mythical, however very close to the realm of the meat puppets. It requires only the proper metallurgical alloys be combined with the appropriate measures of blood, sweat and tears and the application of powerful tooling and machining processes to achieve crossover. There are few secrets; the path is heavily littered with the ill-conceived detritus of past pretenders to the throne. I believe Mr. R6 is The Chosen One, destined to lead us from blasted lands of the injurious, wobbly, tone-sucking string-breakers of perdition to the heavenly euphoria of comforting stable high-sustain tone-enhancing maintenance-free glory.

It's a relatively simple problem. All we gotta do is throw money at it <grin>
 
African or european? AhhhhhH!

I've always wanted to build a guitar and make my bridge and tuners too. Have a couple ideas too. Have to be something unique tho, no point in making something you can buy. Make everything but the fret wire.
 
Reminds me of some lavatory graffiti I saw written above a urinal one time...

"No man is an island.
But, while you're in here,
European."

I know, it's pretty poor grammar for bathroom art. You expect more from potty pundits. But, whaddaya gonna do? The guys who write that stuff generally don't do it in front of an audience, so how would you correct them? It's not like you can put a sign up with a bullet list of the rules of English grammar, considering there are about a bajillion of them, with half of those making no sense at all. 16 years of full-time schooling doesn't do it for most people.

Here I sit all broken heated, came to shyt and only farted.....
 
we should start a "bridge of doom" thread and do some brainstorming. Certain qualities are a must. Locking down the saddles seems to work wonders, at least on the wilkies. Floyds lock the strings down, but is that necessary? how about roller saddles? Then there's the main culprit: the fulcrum. What to do? Boogie Rails has a fairly simple (if a bit hefty) approach, Wilkies use more of a fine knife edge, the BladeRunner is a new interesting one. (six-screws are out, obviously. total crap.) I've always wondered why no one has tried simply using a freaking hinge! A high precision hinge (you could even use bearings!) is a beautiful thing. OF course, it's worthless if it doesn't fit in a standard strat rout (at least in back.), but now I'm rambling . . . anywho, I'd be perfectly interested in helping design a good trem.
