wyldbil Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Flush mounted straplocks! Genius! I attempted that once in the past and botched it. Any suggestions? The guitar looks really cool. Kind of reminds me of my black Hamer Blitz. Good going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Where did you mounted the 85, from the looks of the pics seems it's on the bridge, if you have the ZW set it goes on the neck. It really doesn't matter but I was wondering? The EMG's can be placed anywere since they are active and won't be out of phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pour bleeding me Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 thanks for noticing my straplock idea! im happy that you noticed them. They were actually very easy to do...i drilled the hole for the strap lock screw like normal...but i drilled it deeper than usual...then i took the strap lock itself to a measurer to see how big it is around...and find a drill bit which is one size smaller...then just drill it and it'll work great! and its just the picture...i know the 81 goes in the bridge..and it did....and boy does it sound great!
