PTU 7's. Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Very good idea, i'm diging the headless guitars and basses, but the strings here are damn expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Looks great! Long live headless. PTU: one of the features of the ABM headless neckpiece that they don't make extremely clear in their literature is that you can use regular strings. (screws lock down each individual string). So as long as your bridge can also accept ball-ends (eg. Steinberger bridges and copies) then you can mix-and-match with the ABM headpiece and you're set. Steinberger used to make an attachment for their headpieces that would do the same thing... but I haven't seen any ever since MusicYo stopped carrying them.

Daniel Sorbera Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 It looks good, but in the future it's better not to post 10 times back to back. Just post it all at once and/or edit in more info if no one has posted in front of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 why? <shrug> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 why? <shrug> I dunno I was told a while back by the mods that it's part of the rules around here. Something about making it easier to read, not bumping your own thread, and not taking up as much forum real estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I like the shape & design but the control plate ruins it in my opinion...looks like an after thought rather than a design feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biliousfrog Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I'm confused....is this a guitar that you've already built? Because the first picture shows the completed guitar or are you making another one identical to the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 No, he means: Is it a good bridge, and do you like it? Have you had any problems with it? Does it seem to be made with quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemjinStrife Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 +1 on what GregP said. Is it a good headless bridge? Does it work well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
