Gorgeous!!!  :icon_thumright:

Thanks!  It's been a long and hard road, but so worth it.  Thanks to Rob and the guys.

I woul definitely recommend people use the Tonepros ATVII in lieu of the 510. So many reasons why. Another thing I like about it is it keeps the ball end of the string and the knotted end within the bridge, only allowing the flexible part of the string to break over the rounded upper edge.

The 510 had the strings stiff edge exiting the bottom of the bridge then breaking at a steep angle against the wrapped end of the string itself before breaking over the bridge. That's asking for breakage.

Beautiful. Kinda wish it had a tone control, but meh. It looks better with just the volume.

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Had you gotten the steeper neck pocket angle you needed and the 510 worked, you never would've used that bridge, and it looks great.  The guitar underneath it ain't too bad either.

Darn nice Purple 

Glad ya got it all sorted too  :hello2:

 

[fdesalvo]

Thanks so much, y'all.

Yah I wish the 510 would've worked out, but I have no regrets!

I've never been much of a fan of purple guitars, but yours and Hannaugh's Strat make me wonder why. Beautiful, beautiful guitar.

I've noticed the 510 is no longer an option on W's builders for flat tops. Too bad, I really want one for the Brutal Legend V. It's such a pretty bridge. Not that the Tonepro is ugly, but the 510 is prettier.

Very nicely done!

Looks freaking sweet!  I need a Tele.

Everybody needs a Tele. I have a metallic black cherry carved top body I'd like to get rid of, if you think something like that might suit you. Brand new, never been assembled/used. Has a humbucker bridge pickup route (will accept Tele bridge pickup if using a traditional style Tele bridge), Strat single coil neck pickup route, and Tele bridge holes. Would look great with a Maple neck. Regularly $6,290, priced to move for only $200 in the box, out the door. Act now!

What's it got REAL gold used in the Metallic Black Cherry    :laughing7:

:icon_scratch:  If it's $200 in the box.

How much, if it's out of the box  ?  :icon_jokercolor:

 

[Cagey]

No, Warmoth carved the top.

 

[fdesalvo]

Thanks, all!  It plays really well and sounds great! 

The Kinman Impersonator '54 is an amazingly quiet and toneful singlecoil!  I rank it just below the Fralin Twangmaster in terms of raw tone, but that one is the size of a humbucker!  My next build will be built around that Twangmaster in the neck. 

The Abraxas is a clear and gutsy humbucker that splits well and with minimal loss of volume.  It’s very smooth and creamy sounding with a clear top end and balanced mids and bass – unlike the JB in my other guitar, there are no peaky frequencies.  It’s just an exceedingly toneful pickup that has a great dynamic range and can handle high gain and cleans with equal aplomb. 

The Tonepros bridge is very comfortable and my next build will also be using this one.  Def my fav bridge thus far.

Congratulations! I was waiting to see this guitar done, Kinman Killer pickup.

 

[fdesalvo]
