Received: Schaller Signum Wraparound - WOW

[fdesalvo]

I saw this bridge here in this forum for the first time and was intrigued.  I was able to find a French retailer that had them in stock, so I ordered.  She came in today.

Totally impressed.  Finally a wraparound with a 12" radius and feed-through channels for the strings.  The saddles are already notched perfectly and their range of travel is outrageously long, ensuring great intonation. 

If this doesn't fit into the Gotoh 510 bushings, then I will keep them on my current CTV build and use this Schaller on my purple Tele.  I cannot wait to use this thing!

Freaking awesome! That is the one I want for my VIP. Can't wait to here if it fits the 510 since that is the route I have. To get it in the finish I want I have to order direct from Schaller but it is a bit of a gamble if it doesn't work. It is so close I have a good feeling it will. What a score!! Nice work.

 

[fdesalvo]

Thanks bro!  I love the 510, too, so it's win-win for me. If it works out for u finish wise that would be amazing haha. I'll let you know how it shakes out.

Hahah with the new neck that is my go to guitar. Freaking love that one. I'll take your cursing as a compliment  :toothy12:.

That dam show case.... must....stay....away.

 

[fdesalvo]

Haha for crying out loud man. We're tryin to save money here.

Well, it's a handsome enough bridge, but I really don't think the logo's quite huge enough.


See, e.g.,

 

[fdesalvo]

I have an increasing desire for advertisement on my hardware.  Someday I hope to progress to the Babicz arena. Until then...

 

[vikingred]

Babicz looks cool.  I like.

 

[BigSteve22]

I've done a lot o looking at BABICZ Hardware, and it looks like quality product. Maybe If I was a gigging pro, and getting PAID to advertise, (think sponsor), or if MY NAME was BABICZ, I'd go for it.

Guess for now I'll just have to wait for somebody's ego to shrink. I'm thinking that crap is probably costing them a LOT of sales!

 

[fdesalvo]

Hah! 

Wonder if a little baking soda and elbow grease would get that logo off.

 

[vikingred]

Exactly what I was thinking!  I was thinking it may BUFF out, unless it's laser etched in.  Haha.  What happened to subtlety?

 

[fdesalvo]

Subtlety is right out!

 

[vikingred]

Just got this in the other day for my next build.  It is the BOMB:

 

[fdesalvo]

That's gorgeous man. Just the right amount of gold!

Thanks.  Yah, shame Warmoth doesn't do the routing for it.  But Cagey is gonna give it a shot for me on this body:

 

[fdesalvo]

That's just gorgeous, man.  Can't wait to see it come together.

I'll post some side-by-side shots of the Signum and 510 later this evening.

Please do, I'm looking forward it.

Both really nice bridges, but I think the Schaller edges it out a bit.
