Hard to keep up with this guy.
94 years old. Still drives, played a round of golf Friday, and got back from a cruise last week.
Now they're planning a week at a Sandals resort in Barbados.
How cool is that!

Love everything about it, but the three-saddle bridge. I prefer six individual saddles on my Tele's. Looks fantastic though!

My concern is the spacing. Fixed tail bridges are "S" spaced at 52 MM and I question whether it would match up with the 48 mm pole pieces of a standard humbucker at the bridge. Then again, the Wilkinson 3 saddle bridge lines up perfectly, and Wilkinson says it matches "vintage specs" for a tele.

On this build, I have the bridge rather close to the HB, as you can see in the below pic, perhaps eve closer than a tele bridge pup would be, and the strings run directly over the pole pieces. Then again, the tele bridge pup is at an angle, so not really comparable.

If anyone has worked out the math and can shed light on this, please let me know. Otherwise, I will take pencil to paper and figure it out....eventually!

So anyway, while playing Van Sasquatch for the first time, I thought of 2 things

- The GFS pups I put in, which I took out of some other guitar for more pricey pups, sound awesome. I am glad I decided to use them
- This is my 4th guitar build without string trees, with no ill effect. On the other hand, they can easily cause problems, like binding
 
Milo is the black adult lab mix. He is 10 and has some health issues.
Geriatric Laryngeal Paralysis - the muscles holding his airway open are slowly failing to do this.
It is neurological, has other associated symptoms, and progresses slowly.

Ella is the yellow lab adult. She is 7, very vibrant but showing some signs of getting older.

Thomas is the rescue pup. We drove a little over and hour each way with both our dogs for the the meet and greet.
He came with the name. It wasn't our first choice but is already responding to it, and it has grown on us.

He has had a problem with loose poops and was wormed again before we got him Saturday.
It was ok but soft, improved to normal, then by Monday afternoon is mush. He is active and alert, eating and drinking ok. His vet appt. is later today.
He is on the same food foster mom had him; he did chew on some twigs and such in the yard the first day or so.
I'm a little nervous about it.

A nice home you have there!

I hope Milo keeps those issues at bay. He is lovely.

As for Thomas, I have been told by some experienced rescue people that it very often takes 2 rounds of de-worming to get those little suckers. Take him in to be checked, but it may be as simple as that.
