Hi all, from another newbie. ES-3 build

[peterh]

I think Andy meant to say no more than 1500 pixels

Thanks guys for your tech knowledge. Here's a couple of pics. I hope they turn out.

looks great Wayne, love the burst on the back, is the front of the body looking similar ?

[Wayne.Mumford]

Well the first one worked O.K. so here's a couple more.

[Wayne.Mumford]

Thanks Wokka,the fronts almost the same. Unfortunately a slight colour variation to the back, it's a bit pinker in the middle.

Hi all, just a small question,I'm doing an ES-3 which is inspired by the Gibson ES-175 and most have a rosewood bridge under the tune-o-matic bridge. Is it possible to add this on to my guitar or would it make the bridge too high?

[wokkaboy]

Hi Wayne, you will need to do some research and see how high the rosewood bridges are and compare it to the PBG supplied bridge.
I would guess the heights should be fairly similar but have never installed a rosewood bridge so can't be certain.

If you search the build diaries for the ES-2V model have a rosewood bridge the builder maybe able to supply you this information or flick Adam an email to see if he can measure it from a kit.

Another modification I think you will have to plug the existing bridge holes as I think these rosewood bridges are fixed in place with the smallish thread will screw into the body, a much smaller thread size than the standard approximately 12mm bush

I just found a link to a current ES-2V build so maybe you can PM Mattyeales
