Good lad, might as well do the hybrid thing properly

A Tonerider Hot Classic bridge pup is a mighty fine thing unless you want to spring for some Harmonic Design or Budz pups

Thanks Dave. The guitar I just sold had a Tonerider Octane bridge so I'll happily get another Tonerider.

I'll probably recycle the Wilkinson Tele bridge as the string through holes didn't match with Squier holes.

cheers, Mark.

I've got a Wilkinson six saddle string through on the Tuff Dog, like it a lot

[Fretworn]

Made me think of the old Fender Bullet....

[king casey]

That's not a million miles from what was in my head. edit: and in fact I think the fret-board is probably spot on.
I was thinking one extra string though.
cheers, Mark.

Ha!

Well I got the message this morning 'Your delivery from A.B. is arriving today'.
Me breath's been friggin bated all day and was resigned to the cruel joke when at 7:30 p.m. the box arrives.



Seems to be all in excellent order and the fun and games will begin

cheers, Mark.

Keef dropped the other E string so the numbers are OK

The tuner holes seem to be better aligned than previous 2 necks.
However, I think they are in the wrong place, so first task is to fill 'em in and start again.
I can see some dealing with veneer in the near future and boy, I'm lookin' forward to that.


cheers, Mark.

edit: Hey Dave

[Guvna19]

Kit Arrival Day ! nice. looking forward to watching progess with your plans

[Simon Barden]

Stick the tuners in and see how well the nut slots and sting posts align. The post diameters are less than the hole diameters, so use the actual tuners to see how straight the pull will be.
