I love what you're doing with the cutaway at the foot of the guitar - it'll be it's own stand ...almost.

I love that cutaway that creates the stand/feet on the bottom of the guitar...dunno why people didn't think of that a hundred years ago

everything I have ordered from Tom Top has been exactly what they claimed it would be

I got pickguard blank from suntekstore.com that was excellent quality.

I've met with a metal worker who is willing to work with me on a custom bridge cover - stainless steel!

He's gonna have to do a few prototypes...anyone else interested?

so, I got an old beater off Craigslist, and the fellow who had the guitar had been trying to edit the pickup situation. when he parted with the pieces, I got p-90's, but not the screws and springs used to mount them. I am google-failing to find a source where I can get just the springs and screws without the pickups.

anyone willing to edumacate me?

thanks in advance, and yes, I am a total newbie.

aluminum seems to be the way to go - at least for a first attempt - there's a guy near me who does chrome plating. wouldn't that be nice?

Long time lurker - only my second post.

So, I went searching for a really nice bridge cover for this old Series 10 bass I am fixing up. Admittedly, I am nobody's google warrior, but I do well enough.

I've found NOT MUCH in the way of bridge covers at all, much less anything that might catch the eye.

Is there anything more to the creation of a bridge cover than designing, cutting and bending the metal?

A quick sketch:

what, this one:

iirc some of this thread was lost due to forum downtime - but johns thread is in tact

oh, thank you for that link, sir!!!

man, it hurts that Avenger deleted the thin guitar post...does that kind of thing happen often around here?

I was learning a lot up in there...

thanks for the reply - I will have to look into the walnut idea

ultra-noob here, please forgive my ignorance...

I got this old Hamer off Craigslist, and I think the fretboard is very beautiful - what can I put on it (without removing the frets) to "bring out" or increase the visibility and presence of the fretboard?

Your thoughts and expreience greatly appreciated.
