You need to use the following method without any spaces. Then you will see these:

ahh, thanks

another option for the OP:

made by Aldridge Empire.

those are the 2nd generation of that design, the first one was made for me only, I think

I got mine (7pcs) for around US$ 100, a lot more cheaper than ABM.

it's for top load string mounting, though.

you could ask for string thru body version like mine, but maybe you'll have to wait for a little longer.

and if you have your own design, he'll build them for you.

Thanks for the comments.

Ricky, the F Holes are supposed to be 69's for the 1969's. I'll have to check yours outs. They were a pain to bind. I would totally have made them bigger if I had to do it again.

here's mine

mine supposed to be a Y (see my signature)

yeah, I bet it's a pita to bind especially around the edges.

what colour are you gonna put on it?

I like your "F" hole concept.

looks like mine or mine looks like yours

hey Chris, I posted your progress pics on my facebook

I even framed them, so it looks like progress frame

like this:

damn, I really like this guitar, man

ok, now please tell me about your neck joint.

I argued with my friend (he's a luthier, a great one) about screws placement on bolt on guitars.

he said if I do bolt on guitars, I have to have enough space between screws, so the joint will be strong.

so, I changed my neck joint design just because of his advice.

now I see yours, it makes me wonder

what is java in jazzy java?

thanks.

oh man

winner

3tone burst please

I saw a strandberg

I hate people who could carve their top beautifully

I made a mistake

so, I have to put this project down until christmas

I was so impatient

body blank

a shot when we're relaxing watching the sun:

nice tables we got there

neck blank + neck template

body templates

that's all for now.

got no wood for its body yet

alright, working time

headstock & Y hole drawing (yes, a Y hole)

headstock template

mahogany neck blank

trem is on the way.

woods, not sure when I'll get them.

pickups:

don't know when will I receive them.

basically I just want to have a multiscale trem that looks like a normal one.

although I was thinking the same as you guys when I designed this trem.

but since this is only a 6stringer and the gap between scales is only 3/4", there should be no problem.

well, I hope

if there is, I can always fix it and make a better one on my next builds

ps. that kahler has only 7 strings

and he keeps on teasing me

Tele with a Floyd. Love it!

as a floyd lover, it's a floyd with a tele

nice geetar.

going very slow on this one

I just got pic of the real trem :

Aldridge said it will be ready in a few days.

can't wait.

does anyone know where can i find multiscale guitar's bridge or individual saddles????

i cannot find anywhere!!

if you watched my building thread, you'll know where to get it

do you mean like this:

individual saddles, duralumin rails, solid brass saddles.

or like this:

multiscale trem

few more days before I get home

aldridge send me final design for my trem, hope he can make it on time

shad, do you sell woods as well?

I did.

result?

sucks

not totally by hand though, with a little help from d'addario string winder

then the answer is simple - build more!

wish I could.

will have only two months at home, so 1 guitar is enough I think.

and could anybody help me with colour option?

I'm gonna dye it blue+orange like this:

with brighter orange and deeper blue burst.

anybody has any sample?

TIA
