After much scratching of goolies, swearing and stuffing around, the FCH TOM is installed... Whew!
Next time will be much easier I am sure :D

looking great DB, so is this baby almost ready to bolt together ? Don't forget the large diameter cable lock so it remains in your possession for more than a nano second once complete !
A few shots of the headstock.
The Stienbergers look sweet, especially with the MOP insert on the back of the headstock

very stylish DB, you must be stoked with the results, can see your reflection clearly with the camera !
I think you need to up the size of the cable lock even more now !
Ok, I'm just gonna say it... Those tuners are wacky. Not my cup of tea at all. But, that mother of pearl inlay on the back is freaking gorgeous and the bridge looks like an amazing piece of machinery.
Any idea how the full contact bridge affects sustain compared to a traditional tom? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for that bad boy?
WOW DB!!! That is great!!!

Hey Pablo, The tuners are whacky... that was one of the things that attracted me to them. That and the fact they are designed by Ned Stienberger 8-)
The FCH bridges have astounding sustain as they sit directly onto the body and the saddles are an adjustable cam so there are no skinny little pegs to stifle string vibration transfer to the body.
They range in price from $118- $138 for the TOM bridge and tailpiece.

Love the TOM bridge and Tailpiece... All looking realllll sweeeeeeeet... DB
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for....
Just a few minor jobs left. Control cover plate and strap locks...
Oh, and just for Gavins benefit, a truss rod cover :)
