Well if I didn't mention it in this build diary, I would have done in my Es-1 diary,..... lot's of experimentation, and far from small mod's to both builds....actually some new huge mod's contemplated for this ES-3 build ATM.
I'm not going to go with a stud bridge mount, which is standard with this build ...
As well as the new binding supplies received it the post yesterday were two new new hardware changes, one for each build.
The change for the ES-3 build is a Ebony Archtop bridge, for the Tunematic bridge piece I have used from the ES-1G kit.
I'll plug the existing bridge plug holes with some Maple headstock veneer I have over from extending the heel stock, on both guitars.
Weekend ahead ...guitar progress planned , if it eventuates as planned, who knows.
OK, since you are hanging, Ill work on the ES-3 neck ...it will be my weekend project.
