I can't help but wonder what it would look like if you had used a colored epoxy like blue or red.

This was a test subject that got all the first tries so to speak. I have decided to strip up and finish it. But it will be a bit wacky.

Looks very good, tell me about the bridge and your process for drilling the bridge mounts.

Thank you.
I have always used the 6 screw trems. But I may try this one. And since I’ve never installed one it will be a measure 47 times and hopefully drill once.

I like those Wilkinson, as far as that goes , measuring in my case still ended up off just a little. I have yet to fix it.

I hate when that happens

Thinking about pickguard colors, I may try a clear one for this.

That's a good looking bridge.

I have the set of saddles on another guitar and like them a lot, so I think I will give this trem a go.

I remember seeing those discussed around here…interesting locking system…I look forward to seeing how they work out for you.
