I found this, sure to make at least a few of you happy.

Looks like they're just rounding the millimeter measurements.

They're almost always rounded, not much of a point in having a 43.434098 mm measurement when it can simply be 43.5mm. Unless of course you're measuring something that requires precision such as slotting fret slots, that's a whole different story!

Use this site for converting, or google.

Hehehe, 43.434098 would round to 43.4, not 43.5.

+1 Maybe you could put one as an image for us to see.

+2.

I'm loving the curves.

And I doubt I would ever pay $4200 for that guitar- I'd be scared of getting fingerprints on it.

The site has a good tutorial for fret polishing.

And if it's maple, it might just be lacquer.

Oops.

I've always recommended against individual switches- hard to switch to the neck pickup for solos and back on the fly.

While they are similar weight-wise, maple is about a million times brighter than walnut.

Yeah, while poplar isn't exciting, I'd definitely put it on the same level looks-wise as ash or maple. Great as a back wood, but I usually find something prettier for the top.

Nice job. I personally think poplar is a cool looking wood (if you find a piece with minimal mineral streaks...say that five times fast.) I'm liking the shape, too.

Looks a lot like elm.

Not exactly what i meant. I should have been more specific- Depending on the thickness of the rubber, couldn't the pressure exerted upon the pickup and any mounts from the rubber cause them to become damaged over time?

I shouldn't think so. As long as you have them mounted well, it should be fine.

Do most kinds of rubber exert a magnetic field of any sort?

Common sense.

I'm interested as well...I've always heard good things about the POD in the past, and now I can finally afford one.

Very nice. I always love the look of black limba. The padauk contrasts well.

don't they have the paddle headstock option?

share?

i assume it should all be fine, ash is a pretty common wood for building.

but hey, they only have to sell one guitar to pay for every single one they made. 2 and they're making a profit.

drop tops always make life easier.

first one looks like walnut, third's definitely not poplar- i've seen enough of that in my day. i'd go with alder. no clue on the second.

could you not do a 23" and chop off a bit?

i wasn't huge on any of them, but i went with WezV.

stitching them back on is the only way to ensure that they'll work again. super glue will hold them there, but they just kinda dangle. go to the hospital. unless you've already put it on, in which case you should still go to the hospital.

sorry, i had to. super glue works, put a dot on each end and one in the middle. small dots.

the hybrids are the best trems kahler makes- handbuilt in the US. great trems, i don't see how they could possibly have issues. all the kahlers i've worked with have been great, except for the X series, but those are mass-produced in china, so i'm not too surpised. hybrids are well worth it, though.
