ES4-B 1st Build

[Simon Barden]

I'll be making one for a friend when the kit arrives in November. It's simple custom order with no pickup routs or tuner holes drilled so I can decide on which pickups and tuners to fit. All passive though, nothing active (nowhere to easily put a battery for a start). I was thinking of fitting the Hipshot Supertone bridge and making sure that I get and fit the longest stud inserts I can find to counter any pulling action.

I wanted to avoid routing because the surface is curved. If you have the right equipment, though it's a better option.

I looked at both the hipshot and the babicz replacements for the 3-point. For me the problem was that they seem to mount flat, and the space on an ESB-4 is curved. I have since learned that hipshot will send you a fit kit so that looks like a good option.
