    That was funny

    Anyhoo, got a bit done in between other jobs..

    Bridge plate cut, shaped, routed and slide bars for saddles in.

    Next up a few shots of the saddles roughed out.

    Lawry - they do tend to get a bit worked up...

    BTW Barge - currently working on 2 guitars and one bass. Currently play both pretty much evenly, though am woeful with guitar. Just fun to stir guitarists up a little - they do tend to be a little precious .

    Wokks - DB doesn't seem to mind. I think he's happy to drop the boot in when needed .

    so do the saddles work under string tension?

    will you have to reintonate everytime you change a string?

    Looks great though DB. Love you workmanship.

    Your bridge is amazing DB - I'm completely blown away. It's such a simple concept when you think about it, but yet I've never seen this before anywhere. Simply awesome!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Nick, once everything is finished and the Guitar is intonated I will cut small pieces of Mother Of Pearl sheet to sit either side of the saddles to hold them in place.

    Thanx Gav.... It is simple but a real fiddly bugger to make... not sure I would be in too much of a hurry to do it again

    DB. Is this going to turn into your version of the Cistine Chapel? You know, like the Pope and Michaelangelo... "When are you going to make an end? - "When I have finished".
