is this damage?

[MKFAN]

so before i post the show-off pics of the new beaut, i'm curious if you guys think these pics of some damage at the bridge are worth worrying about.

i did email gregg so we'll see what he thinks, too...

 

[Nando Vallart]

No!
It's to put the "ground" of the electronic at the bridge... I'm completelly dumb at electronic, so the guys here can answer how it works, etc...  :laughing7:

 

[SkuttleFunk]

ummm ... could that possibly be the route for the bridge grounding wire?

What kind of bridge is that getting? It's not one of the standard options, is it?

 

[MKFAN]

it's getting a schaller 475 bridge.

Aw man, I'd send it back.  Look at it!  They couldn't even use some nice straight grained lumber when they whittled it out.  Hadda use that ol' twisty wood.  For shame........

And the color is all over the place :evil4: :evil4: :evil4: :icon_jokercolor:

 

[MKFAN]

despite the curvy grain and the color being inconsistent, AND the fact that there are those odd shaped carvings in the middle and a couple of holes in front and on the sides... I think i'll keep her.

tomorrow morning is showing off photo shoot time. so a whole category of pics will be available for everyone tomorrow... including hardware and pickup images.
