opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 (edited) So, I got this guitar off my gf today (copy paste into address bar : http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitar.jpg ), and I was wondering some things. 1. What type of guitar is it. 2. The bridge hole looks pretty big. What kind of bridge do I need to get for it? 3. What are the dimensions for a humbucker hole?

soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 looks like a late 90's 'The page cannot be found' model. Not sure what those are worth ....with the original logo scraped off and replaced with a 'remote link prohibited' logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 to me it looks like a mosrite, but i doubt it is... probably best you ignore me eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluespresence Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 weezerboy Posted on Feb 28 2004, 07:36 PM to me it looks like a mosrite At first glance I thought of Hamer, but the bottom horn is longer than the top......very Mosrite looking. That'd be my guess too. Any neck or headstock to see? The Mosrite headstock looks like -M- (a cutout of an M) on top. That would be the best clue...........

westhemann Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 bridge is a kahler flatmount...it looks homemade because of the rough routing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Ok, I went through the trouble to really see it. It reminds me of an ESP 'ultra-tone' which they actually based on the shape of some "cheesy" japanese 60's guitar, which might be what you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I'd assume Kahler too, but it doesn't look like the screw holes would jive with that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 The neck (COPY PASTE) http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitarneck.JPG I google'd the name of the bridge company. Apparently they switched to making golf clubs. Is there any other bridge that will fit there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 An ESP Ultra-Tone (click on the guitar for a bigger pic) http://www.epinions.com/inst-Electric_Guit...ars-Ultra_Tone# Yeah, I know the "horns" are more pointy (I don't think his sanded body is an ESP, I think it could very well be the Jap guitar that inspired the Ultra-Tone body shape) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 The neck (COPY PASTE) http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitarneck.JPG Pretty cool. I like the zero-fret. Looks nice and wide at the nut. Small dot markers are cool. Rosewood, I'm assuming ? Is the body "plywood" or what ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 No clue what kind of wood it is. The body was completely sanded down, and I'm not kind of sure what it is. Anyone know about finding a replacement bridge? Or can I just fill it in with JB weld and mount a bridge in another place? (Does it matter how far the bridge is?)

opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Some junk my gf found from it. Looks like there's a bridge cover and a bridge there. (Copy paste) http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitarbridge.jpg So would any model of bridge replace it? Or only a specific style/brand?

soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 NO JB WELD (that's only for fixing Duncan JB pickups ) Don't be ruled by that hole. Actually , let's say you wanted a "hard-tail" bridge. I think it would end up going right over those 4 screw holes between the bridge pickup rout and that hole for part of the previous bridge assembly. Not 100% on this, tho Wood would be my first choice to fill that hole with, unless I decided to go with some crazy retro bridge assembly that had part that would cover that hole. BUT, I'm taking it for granted that the "saddle position" is around those 4 screw holes that I mentioned. You'd have to mount the neck on, measure the scale length and then really find out where on the body the bridge saddles are to be located exactly. Don't rush into anything. Plan it twice, take the chisel to it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 What's a hard tail bridge? (I=guitar noob) Yeah, wood would be better. Besides, I'd have to buy 20 packs of JB Weld to fill that hole in. Oh, and how do you tell scale length/ bridge location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I mentioned the "hard tail" (like on a Fender strat, without a tremelo bar on it) before I saw the pics of your bridge parts. That big metal piece fits that hole. see how the holes match the ones in the body around the hole ? Then I'm not sure if the little adjustable bridge in your pic is the one for that body, but I think it can work if it is, or if it isn't. Scale length: screw the neck to the body, measure from that VERY FIRST fret (right next to the plastic "nut" [with grooves for the strings in it] ) to the 12th fret. then measure the same exact distance from the 12th fret onto the body, That's ABOUT where your bridge saddles will have to be located. If that one smaller bridge part in your pic does indeed somehow match up to those screw holes near the pickup rout, your saddle location work is already done for you. I'll let some others get their .02 in here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 yeah i guess it aint a kahler...but btw kahler still makes the flatmount...rhoads56 sells them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Using the bridge parts you have, it should be a set-up a lot like a Fender Jazzmaster bridge assembly: http://www.genu.co.jp/photos/Fender61Jazzm...aster298000.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opranks612 Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Copy Paste http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitarbri...ridgemount2.jpg http://www.iupload.net/022004/tehguitarbridge2.jpg So it looks like that weird pole sticking out hooks into a tremolo bar? I don't see how it connects to the bridge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Looks very Mosrite to me. Univox also made a mosrite Ventures II copy. I think that is what we have here. I'll try to find ya a pic of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
